I love it when I see mobile phones being put to good use, and I also love it when say for important issues, mobile phones are being utilised to capture a target audience in the best sense and way possible.

You see, the other day I was sitting in the School Library working hard on a piece of History work, when a class came in and began working on the available computers. The class was a mixture of boys and girls who were thirteen/fourteen years young.
A group of these boys, [...]
25,000 people have registered their interest for the G1 on T-Mobile UK’s site.
I guess that means I won’t be in with much of a chance to win one. But this does point to a lot of interest from the UK mobile community.
It most certainly won’t get the iPhone-style fan-fare — and if T-Mobile’s chaps [...]
Earlier in the decade, I spent the best part of a couple of years really getting wound up by my shoes sticking to the floor in nightclubs all across the UK with our text-to-screen service.

Over in the US, there’s an interesting plan brewing. The Federal Communications Commission is planning to auction a piece of spectrum off under the proviso that the winner of the auction has to offer a free wireless internet service with part of the spectrum.
Operators, it seems, have been dragging their feet and causing delays, [...]

Here at SMS Text News we are a big [...]
Continue ReadingThis poster is advertised at Liverpool Street Station as people come out of the underground (’the subway’). I like seeing proprietors advertising free WiFi - I think it’s a boon for many. I actually filled out a survey with the McDonalds system, powered by The Cloud - I congratulated them for launching the [...]
Continue ReadingI was walking past the McDonalds in Oxford Street, at the Oxford Circus, when I saw a ‘Free WiFi’ sticker. I’ve walked by a few other restaurants recently and been surprised by the amount of folk sat in there munching away on a Big Mac with their laptops out, browsing the web, clearly using [...]

In the US and want free minutes? Time to install a new Facebook application. It’s called Fund My Phone and it’s part of Virgin Mobile USA’s Sugar Mama service, which lets customers rack up free minutes, usually by sitting through advertising.

Sprint is obviously feeling generous these days - it’s giving away free mobile access to MySpace Mobile on all web-enabled phones - which it claims is a first for any US operator - to coincide with the official launch of MySpace’s mobile site.
