MobiDoms allows UK mobile users to order condoms by text message.
Using the latest mobile vending technology, it is now possible to order Condoms by SMS text mesage. No longer do you have to leave the house, speak to a person or get embarrassed in the chemist shop or gents rest room.
All you have to do is send a single text message to the MobiVend system and you will receive FOUR condoms discreetly by mail order. All vends are dispatched under plain wrap, so no one will know what you have ordered. One text message can definitely save your life!

yep some are...but im 19 and a about a month ago (when i was still 18) i went into a chemist and bought 2x12 packs of condoms...cool as a cucumber. I think its stupid to be embarresed about these things...it would be worse if you didnt even buy them!!!

According to the site......
When you order, you will receive three reverse billed text messages, totalling £4.50 (inc. VAT).
This amount pays for your condom vend, handling, p&p. You get 1 x Banana, 1 x Chocolate, 1 x Spearmint, 1 x Strawberry Condomi condoms.
Mobile pre-pay customers, please make sure you have enough credit in your mobile phone to complete order.

Yeah and if you have a prepay phone they send the CIA to track you down and they give them to you personally...
I doubt anyone really has access to your personal information given to your phone contract (they probably do, but they should have it).

Actually no in the u.k pre-pay phones do not need to register a address...but thats not how the service works anyway...you do need to provide an address when texting your order!
