The Real SMS

from the now-maybe-people-will-use-it dept

According to an AT&T spokesperson, we could see sms interoperablity in US by the end of this year (audio link, you'll be asked to choose a player). In Europe and Asia, interoperablity is pretty much the norm and one of the factors for the success of SMS. Carriers in the US are rolling out more 2-way SMS phones, but usage has been slow since you could only send messages to users on the same network.
