The US Is Getting SMS?!?

[Biggy]

Carrie,

thanks for the explanation.

For all you folks in UK and Europe who say this technology is big over there, can you give us Americans an actual use of it, in other words, what do you use SMS for and what have you used it for?

The way you explained it via the soda machine sounds amazing, but is it already out over there and people are using it???

I like it, and I don't like it at the same time.. it sounds great, but I feel like for the adult net, its opening a whole new can of worms due to children.

Take this scenario, kids these days are getting cell phones at 14, 15, etc. A boy wants to access a porn site, doesn't have a credit card, thats the end of it, yet now he can call up his cell phone, and get instant access???

Sounds like the technology is not perfected out there, and I don't know how much of a real use it will be for the adult net, at least in the US....

for other things, you are absolutely right, the possibilites are endless. Although, i don't know how cell phone companies in the US are going to fare, considering from what I gather everything gets billed to the cell phone, hence through your provider, and they may see big jumps in their bad debt expense..
