Not surprised they're plugging SMS so much. It's very big business over here. The networks get a huge amount of money because of the sheer number of SMS's being sent.

The networks are always on the lookout for the "next big thing". This used to be WAP but that kind of flopped badly. And now it's MMS which isn't very well supported currently and expensive. As David said, it's cheaper and just as convienient to use email. All of the MMS capable phones can send/receive email anyway.

Oh god. You'll be getting those annoying abbreviated messages when people try to squeeze as much as possible into 1 SMS now. Looks like a sendmail rule half the time
