E-mail and SMS scam warning: LG Electronics
LG Electronics South Africa is warning consumers about an SMS and email scam which impersonates the company
8ta, MTN, Vodacom and Cell C: SMS and voice rates compared
8ta promised to disrupt the local cellular market, but are their prices really much better than the incumbents?

I often help other foruminites with WASP queries and the first call is to visit the site:
www.smscode.co.za
This site seems to have stopped working and its now been replaced with:
www.smscodes.co.za
(I suspect a site upgrade as its a new interface)
I'm looking for something that ultimately integrates a common db of users for sms and email. It should have a web frontend where users can manage subscriptions / unsubscribe.

In order to send SMS (7-bit) longer than 160 chars, you have to break the message up into 153 character messsage data parts and prefix each of these with a 5 octect UDH (user data header), explaining that these are parts of a multipart SMS and should be 're-assembled' by the receiving device...
I'm using an SMS gateway that limits SMS messages to 160 chars. It's going to be a month of Sundays trimming down all my messages to 160 chars, so I'd like to break the messages up into 160 parts, but then the recipient will get several SMS's, unlike when I get an SMS longer than 160 chars as...

Hi everyone,
First time poster, long time reader :)
Just thought I had to share this with you guys, I came across this website (FSMS.co.za) a few days ago which lets you send free SMSes and you get replies on the site when people SMS back to the number!! I think it's quite amazing we're...
Hi All
I've been struggling now the whole day to get my phone to send sms's. I can receive sms's no problem, but sending just refuses to work.
(I am using a SE X10 on Vodacom)
I have google'ed international websites with numerous excellent ideas. I quickly discovered that Android has no...
Seriously. It's disgusting. Smses only come through once I send a sms to the person I am expecting the sms from or I get smses from a few days ago that are only delivered now. Has been happening the last few weeks. What the hell is going on?
Hey there people,

I am using an MTN sim card. I used to get sms from local as well as from abroad without any hassle. For some time now I am not receiving sms from abroad though local sms-es are coming in. Any clarification?
So here is a question to all the Virgin mobile subscribers, do you notice that your messages are often delayed when sending and receiving to another VM subscriber? Do you have the same problem when sending and receiving messages to other networks. If yes to the latter, do you think it is...
