New If you're really interested in who is using what tech & freq
This is an incomplete but interesting starting place:
[link|http://sms.bigfoot.com/index.php?pages=networks|Bigfoot SMS partners]

Bigfoot.com is offering SMS text messaging from a PC to most phones. I might be interested in using it if I knew more than one person who uses SMS. What makes it interesting is that they list the technology and frequency (in hundreds of MHz), although it's not complete (e.g. they miss the biggest US carrier, Verizon).

Also, I should note I'm really not a cellular geek; OTOH, I do have an uncle who's spent over thirty years in radio and cell phones.

New Find some Aussies - practically everyone here uses SMS.
[link|http://australianit.news.com.au/articles/0,7204,4279708%5E15328%5E%5Enbv%5E15306%2D15320,00.html|This article] mentions that there are about 200 million SMS message sent every day in Australia.

It's a regular SMS frenzy here, and most other countries that have inter-carrier SMS, or just a nice big monopoly :)


Edit: Very timely that I happened to be browsing the site with the SMS stats :)
On and on and on and on,
and on and on and on goes John.

New Always try the obvious first.
[link|http://www.gsm.org/|GSM Association], in particular, [link|http://www.gsmworld.com/roaming/gsminfo/index.shtml|this page] which is the page I found when curious two years ago about whether my GSM phone would work in Japan (it wouldn't).

That BigFoot page is rather good, BTW.

And you *do* know more than one person who uses SMS - Meerkat and I both qualify :-).

Today’s program has been sponsored by the physical act of gulping. For thousands of years, gulping has been there for human beings when they needed an expressive gesture of the throat. Whether you want to indicate nervousness about an upcoming test or appointment, fear of the Faceless Old Woman Who Secretly Lives in Your Home, or you just want to ingest milk faster than with regular swallowing, gulping is the way to go! Forget sweating, never mind shivering! Sneezing? Ugh! When you think physical actions, think gulping! Gulp now and receive a complimentary prize package, which will be conveniently buried in an unmarked spot somewhere in the Scrublands. Find it, and it’s yours!
