SMS.AC

Anyone ever heard of http://www.sms.ac/ ?

I got an e-mail from them about providing content for cellphone users. Like for exemple, people who want to send Miss Dynamite animation through SMS messages (or so I think).

I'm sure it's an automated message or a copy/paste, kinda half a spam. So I'm sure other animators, most likely on Newgrounds, have receive it.

Anyone has any info on them?

I don't know who they are, but they indeed use spam as a method of promotion. Worse than that: In my case at least, they used names of my friends. It is a wild guess, but I think they somehow accessed the list of one of my friends and used his name to try to get me tagged.

They commited two errors: why my friend should write me in english when we are both spanish? and second, why someone would think I will not contact my friend to confirm his invitation?

Hi,

I got caught by sms.ac too... they emailed everyone in my hotmail address book. Ever see SMS-TXT
they seem to be genuine, as far as I can make out. - and they don't ask for your Hotmail password..

Hey!

I used to be signed up with them back when I had a cell phone. They aren't horrible as long as you don't subscribe to any of their "free services" like Horoscopes, jokes, etc. A friend of mine did and then he was not able to unsubscribe...He was being charged $1 per message from these things and was getting about 25 messages a day!

Anyhoo, it's a good way to keep in contact with people...you can send text messages to people's cell phones from your computer and shit...other than that, it really has no purpose...

Take care!

Ok, nevermind then, it's probably not worth it.

I dunno, it's not like I have that much content that it needs to go on cellphones as well.

This interested me only because there was a possibility of making money. If I can't get anything worth from it, I'll stick to these old school Internets.
