My rant on Mobile websites in Spain and Orange

HOLLY SMOKES!
That is expensive for international SMS!
I think the companies are gouging the consumer...imagine if emails were charged as international...no one would use the system.

@petkow- Well that clears up TPH, being getting a lot of blank expressions from Spanish people in my search for enlightenment.

Will try sms.bug , My phone is 6230i and was using similar app in Ireland called AFT (Almost free text). Don't mind paying 9cents in Ireland for normal txts, wouldn´t be a big texter but away on holidays it´s nice to text. Also today started using the 200 free web text Meteor(Irl) give per month. Bit of a problem there though as I know one of the people I´m texting is not in Ireland, and as far as I know those free web texts do not go international.

Also have been unable to turn up an APN for Orange Spain, and according to OPERAMINI site, the only Spanish companies to offer true internet are Movistar and Yoigo, and at present none of my Java apps work.
thanks

On train to Barcelona using Meteor(IRL) prepaid, and Operamini 4. Have good working dual sim adapter at home, but always one to make life difficult I left it there. If I had it here I could run one of those Java SMS apps over my Meteor ISP. Che catzo
