  1. Works for me, mostly. by garcia · · Score: 1 · on This Text Message Will Self Destruct

    For instant notifications powered by Upoc, I certainly wouldn't mind this. If I leave my phone off for a couple hours (no signal at work) I get an SMS flood soon after leaving and end up having to delete messages after I read them. While it's not big deal it would be nice if I didn't even have to think about it.

    *NO* text message that *I* get is worth keeping around after I read it. If it was, I'd just e-mail it to myself or copy/paste it to another application.

    I like the idea, YMMV.

    Mail lists/Party lines for SMS. Sounds a lot like www.upoc.com I'm not affiliated.

  3. Gmail service text updates / launch alert by mikelewis · · Score: 1 · on Google's Gmail To Offer 1GB E-mail Storage?

    I've created a text message group so even if you're not at your computer, you can find out that Gmail has launched (if the time is going to be a surprise) and get that name you want.

    Go here to join - http://www.upoc.com/group.jsp?group=gmail - and make sure to post a message as soon as you find that Gmail has launched or after any other important updates.

    What's the odds of getting messages from someone whom you have never spoken with on the phone previously?
    Pretty good, actually. I use UPOC to organize online gaming ("Hey, I'm playing on this server") and it works out really well.

    There are a number of methods for using this...and SMS is included. You can send messages Upoc's Voice Message System, WAP/Wireless, e-mail, cell-phone email, SMS, etc...check this out.

    But the point is -- in the US, most people's phones don't support SMS -- alot of companies use propritary messaging formats. These people have found a way to (sort of) integrate those (using whatever digital service that you may have)...and (maybe) make some money off of the ad revenue.

    upoc.com offers a free service that links together all of the propritary cellular text messaging in the US via a web interface. It also offers stuff like public groups.

    Its not necessarily an IM thing, but a text-messaging thing.

  8. Upoc by elfkicker · · Score: 4, Informative · on Build Your Own Phone Tree?

    It may take the fun out of it, but Upoc offers a free service that works a bit like this. It's build more around SMS and email, but you can also leave voice message that can be checked from any phone or online. I've found it pretty useful once in awhile. There's probably similiar services out there.
