Am I the only one who read this as "Vanessa Would Like You To Enjoy Video Massaging"?

pclark• 15 years ago

Would that be more or less compelling than the actual title? ;)

While I'm not sure I would use this as "more personal, more emotional" texting - I'd still just call - I see the value for lessening misunderstanding. Texting is pretty low bandwidth, by comparison.

The part about tying in all your SIM cards when travelling is interesting to me. I'm constantly across borders and I don't yet have a cost-effective solution to getting SMSs on all numbers (Skype works fine for call-forwarding).

What would be your ideal solution to this?

That I could forward my numbers locally to a number I choose. Say my U.S. cell, Australian, UK and Spanish cell phones: I just buy a new SIM when I'm back somewhere longer than a few days, but that's getting ridiculous (though it's cheaper than roaming). If I'm away for a while it expires, so I get yet another number. I could email everyone or call them but they have an old number for me and it's a hassle for my friends, less me as my Android phone is great at keeping me up-to-date.. so maybe it's something as simple as an iPhone/Android app that pushes cellnumber changes to your friends? I'd pay for that. I can't imagine the telcos letting go the noose on their number forwarding..
