but you gotta have the cell phone. I also want my customers to be able to join instantly. Even when I am not around. For instance, in a couple of days I am leaving for Asia to play. I don't need to be dealing with hooking up pissed off clients. I don't allow my staff access to my billing accounts, so it would just not work for me. This is not piss. This is business. Please do not take it personally. Piss about other things if you like.

js, if you had've stuck with this point in the first place instead of being a smart ass then we wouldn't have been dribbling!
yes you do have to have a cellphone currently for EU clients, as I said above, toll free numbers for EU are on their way. the biggest problem with this system currently is making it work internationally, which is nothing new - all cc companies, phone billing etc have this problem ... this system probably has the same or less amount of people who 'cant' use it than credit cards do.
"GSM is on target to achieve an historic milestone during the first quarter of 2004. With more than 970 million users at the end of December and an average of 15 million new users a month throughout 2003, the GSM Association, confidently expects the billionth GSM user to be connected during the first quarter"
i'd like a piece of a billion strong audience, no matter how many potential customers it misses!
and like vick said, in 6 months it may be totally different - this is what has worked in trials NOW and it will be changed as the times change.
