| 191954 | 2003-11-15 00:00:00 | Yeah they are related to Burger King. Sure one can pad up the message with heaps of crap, like foreign charachters with "Now BK" sitting somewhere in the middle of it, but it's just a waste really, BK is a high priority ;-) When ever I go to write something longer than those mentioned in the previous message I tend to run out of room :( 160chars is such a bad limit. |

| 191955 | 2003-11-15 00:06:00 | some phones let you go over the limit but when it comes to sending, it automatically sends it as 2 texts... 160 characters is ok...just gotta learn to use the abbrevations eh... |

| 191956 | 2003-11-15 00:45:00 | Well obviously you guys haven't thought about a 'free' alternative (please take this as a joke, relating to the war driving thread - also note it will be incredibly inaccurate in how to do it and why it would work) :D Take a wireless-equipped PDA with you wherever you are, with some form of ICQ or an email program installed - that way you can just hijack insecure wireless networks and send your messages with unlimited length and at no cost aside from recharging your PDA every now and then :p |

| 191957 | 2003-11-15 00:52:00 | wont that be classified as theft? of someone elses bandwidth or anything | csinclair83 (200) | ||
| 191958 | 2003-11-15 01:00:00 | Indeed it would be, but if you constantly changed the host name of the device, and didn't stay put longer than necessary (ie, have everything pre-prepared to send), you probably wouldn't be caught. | agent (30) | ||
| 191959 | 2003-11-15 01:02:00 | it'd cost more to get caught than get ur own set up ;) nice idea thou.. |

| 191960 | 2003-11-15 01:32:00 | You only get 15 a day on ICQ when I last checked.... means I'd need multiple accounts :p Sure, i'll try your theory agent, you provide the PDA... I'll check it out... :D |

| 191961 | 2003-11-15 02:09:00 | 15, is that all? I get 20, and in the remote likelihood I reach 20, to get around it, all I have to do is click 'Send Again' :p | agent (30) | ||
| 191962 | 2003-11-15 02:23:00 | Not withstanding the $10 all you can eat texting.... Text messaging is the most expensive way to transmit data. The cost per bit beats any other form of transport hands down. Theres your useless fact for the day. |

| 191963 | 2003-11-15 02:40:00 | I refuse to use txtish. With newer phones (predictive capable) it is actually more difficult to use txtish than to use full english anyway. | -=JM=- (16) | ||
