new yim supports free texting....oh, interesting no? well...no...the supported countries are:
* United States: AT&T, Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile
* Canada: Rogers, Fido
* India: Vodaphone Essar, Airtel, Spice, Escotel, Reliance
* Indonesia: XL, Telkomsel, Hutch 3
* Malaysia: Celcom, Digi, Maxis
* Philippines: Globe, Smart
* Thailand: AIS, DTAC
* Vietnam: Mobifone, Viettel, Vinaphone

ok, its an American company...ok Canadians are only north of the border....but what about the rest?
and by that i mean where is the support for Europe, i nice big chunk of the market?
aha wait a minute, India...isn't that a lot of tech support comes from? and I've got sneaky feeling the rest have as well, because lets face it, it's not impossible to set up free texting in England at least, I mean we've got cbfsms.com ffs, so why can't i do it from my yim?

tis a shame, cause i would have used it as well....if just for the texting

	Hi there, think this depends on the mobile operators playing ball with Yahoo! in the EU. Think they're working on it though. (Reply to this) (Thread)

for some reason i doubt it has much to do with our mobile networks, because like i said, cbfsms.com can do it, they may be a legal cost on their side, but thats paid for through vip users and advertising, and i'm sure yahoo makes enough money to cover the cost in another country if they really wanted to, and it would increase their fan base, meaning they'll make more money

so do you think it's still to do with the phone companies? cause I think it's more to do with them wanting their workers to be able to communicate at all times
