WIND Mobile and New Telecom Merger

The rumor mill is whirring as stories that Wind Mobile's given up on the fight against the communications regulations... Can't it ever be as simple as the price is right?  The time was certainly right for a purchase but will Russian state supported corporations actually have an easier time with our protective communications regulations?  This many years after the cold war and our best friend in the political arena is still friendlier with a torture supporting state and instigator of terrorist resentment than the professional and somewhat more ethical Russia - you can bet this  communications regulation will temporarily, for once, be supported vehemently by the US!

Developer Content for IP to Location API from Quova

Well, the api's integrated and it was a piece of cake - IP addresses can be looked up with the Quova (man that's a tongue twisty word) API and some interesting information is returned like area code and whatnot.  Although it did say my server in Chicago was in Brazil, hey It's free!  I don't think this is quite contest material but check it out on the Privacy Page!  Let me know if there are any other ideas out there.  I'd be happy to make it of use!

The API is quite spiffy so developers are encouraged to go here:

Back Online 4 All North America!

That's right, we're back and better than ever.  You can now send messages to any mobile phone in the USA or Canada.  Any provider, Any time, and you can send messages up to 380 characters!

We're sorry for the delay, chipmunks chewed through the internet cabling. You can bet it won't happen again. The outrage or 'outpour of support' was really quite thoughtful.  To ensure I never have to fear walking to work again, we've hired a few junior developers from a third world country to help with maintenance. =) Thank you Wind SMS Fans!

On a side note, there is now a Donate button in case you're rich with all the money you saved by switching to Wind.  You should contact me as there is a great mobile phone related project we could work on!

A few more - One More Day's !!

Our release will be Friday - Free SMS to US and Canada and we'll never leave you hanging again!

I hope it's not too much inconvenience but we needed the time and released a bit too early without being sure we could be there with 100% uptime! The new system is far better and will allow verification of sent messageS!

In the meantime you could visit our sponsors or check out how to save $10 limited time only!!
