A Filipino-owned company, D3 Systems Inc., has produced a GPRS application that allows for person to person communication via a cellphone with GPRS. They are aiming to make 'texting' cheaper since a 160 character message costs only 14 centavos to send as compared to the 1 peso of a regular SMS message.
The software needs a series 60 or series 80 phone which means that even the nokia 3200 cant run it. The nokia 3650's and equally high tech phones can. So far, there are no ads on the software but eventually that will change because it is where the company will get their money.
I have yet to try it. Im not sure if it can run in the background while i let my phone do its regular thing or i have to check the application every so often for messages. I'll keep you updated ;)
