Maurice, no wonder you write: <SMS won't last. It's a silly thing.....I can send SMS for no charge from my ADSL connected PC at home to any GSM phone. But SMS from a GSM phone costs US5c per message here. > The whole idea with SMS is that it is instant and in the pocket. Most young people don't sit at home at their always connected ADSL modem. The same applies for busy professionals who also don't sit in their office, but move around (with their phone in the pocket) The ones who are glued to their PCs don't of course need anything but their PC connection and their phone, both supplied by ADSL. Ilmarinen P.S How often do you need to reboot your Windos, and how many java enriched multiframe pages can you open before you have to go through that minor disconnect feature again. (I guess you also, if a Windoze and crash user, have disconnected all powermanagement, to get instant messages??)
