Excellent job!

What did you shoot it with - the quality (video and sound) is outstanding!

The 'invasion of the Northern Normobs' was brilliant - it would be good to do more 'Joe in th Street' stuff. The look of fear on Ben's face was a gem - and the way Dan handled the interlopers was masterful.

Would you consider distribution via iTunes (so that I can get SMS Text News video podcast on my iPhone with minimal effort)?

Classic start-up / critical mass dilemma here. The service is absolutely no use until Txt2Reg get a significant proportion of the UK registrations mapped against mobile phones - and I just do not see an easy way of doing that!

I would think that the view of the UK courts would be that any attempt to block a normal UK geographic number would be illegal - under the same argument that T-Mobile were ordered to route traffic to normal Truphone mobile numbers. Have you any examples or experiences of carriers blocking call through services? If so, what numbering/tariffs are the call through services using?

Ewan - you are truly a 'man of many phones'! But one could ask the question "If you have a H3G phone with access to unlimited HSDPA based data for incredibly low prices, why would you want to sign up for a hugely expensive Voda contract for data?" I would guess that local coverage may be one deciding issue?

I recieved 3 warning SMS - called 3 CS (in India).

Summary - it would appear that 3 are attempting to deploy a system to police the Acceptable Use Policy on data - I wondered how long I could get away with averaging over 5Gb per month for the princely sum of GBP 5!

This system is clearly not quite operational yet - but be prepared for it to kick in as soon as H3G get their act together.

At least it would appear that they are doing the gentlemanly thing and warning users about potential AUP incursions before turning off the service or even worse (in a Vodalike manner) just whacking users with a HUGE data bill for the overage!

As you have just posted a demo of H3G data and portal - does this mean that you are now a 3UK customer?

Hey Steve - why don't you try it - and report back?

The UK call through numbers are normal geographic (01xxx/02xxx) numbers and so will not cost a fortune or be excluded from your inclusive bundles.
