I'm getting a failed message when trying to send sms over gprs. I've heard that the service providers here in Norway has disabled the function due to loss in incoms, has anyone heard something about this?

You are right! Before, I can send SMS via GPRS. Which is totally free, because our GPRS Access here in Philippines are still free for awhile (still under testing). Today, SMS via GPRS was already disabled by our Network Service provider due to Loss of their Income. ]:-(

That sucks! Telia sucks! And in Sweden it's not very cheap to get GPRS... I think Comviq will be free yet for a while but Europolitan charges SEK 60 per month.
The ugly thing here is that if you send an SMS through GPRS, it won't cost your SP anything (almost) but they're so darn greedy...

Hi.
I live in Norway and here it's also impossible to send SMS over the GPRS-net. I've just wrote a mail to my operator (NetCom) and asked them why they are blocking SMS on the GPRS. It's pretty stupid that they won't let new and improved technology benefit the users! I will post their reply on my mail here on the forum. Maybe they will listen to us if we protest against this policy together? |
