Guest bronksy Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 Ok - been ages since I posted here but I really hope you guys can help.. Its been bugging me for ages about a few things mobile-wise from the mid 90's.. There was a 'trick' that enabled people with an 0973 number to send free sms via a foreign SMS centre.. ALSO.. there was a free service that was set up by some researchers which was text based.. you would text a command to their service and it would return a result. I think it would take email and text it back to you- or give weather etc.. does anyone remember what that service was called?? Happy new year, Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bronksy Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Locust :) http://www.locust.net/ P (formerly paulsphone on Locust) OMG YES YES.. I cant remember why I used it though - I remember being angry that my mate had an 0973 number and could send free sms via the foreign SMS centres.. I had an 0976 number and didnt get all the benefits. I got really paranoid they were logging all the sms and then using them for building profiles on mobile users..
