* Indonesia: XL, Telkomsel, Hutch 3

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
