Krystal has been with SMS Text News since May of 2007 in the position of Operations Manager, helping to keep things rocking and rolling.
Born and raised near Toronto, Ontario, Krystal brings along a background in publishing and a love for everything mobile related, as well as a unique non-UK perspective. Fed up with the state of the Canadian Mobile Industry, you can find her on a one woman quest to change it.

He can often be found writing for one of his million blogs or… Writing for another one on of his million blogs.

Ben Smith
Podcasts, Jack of all trades
Ben Smith, of unknown consultancy firm, has been helping us out here at SMS Text News since July of 2007 doing whatever we throw at him. Mainly consumer reviews, weekly features, and regularly taking part in the weekly Podcasts.
He spends most of his professional life working for UK government clients at the moment, but has worked all round the world - including a while living in Singapore. He specializes in infrastructure for large systems, technical architecture and also does ITIL-based service management.
Outside of work mobile tech has become his passion - it started with Apple Newtons and the original Palm PDA, but his first smart phone really opened his eyes to how much more powerful mobile devices were with wireless data. After that his first work-supplied XDA delivered the joys of relatively unlimited data (although little enthusiasm for the early Windows Mobile) and he was an early Three X-Series subscriber. Today he has an iPhone in one pocket (Apple fan) and a Nokia in the other. You can see Ben’s My Mobile Day feature here
