Get Ready?????????????

They are HERE>>>> Here in Poland I get ads about 3-4 times a week....via text messaging. ALL kinds of ads and things like, "send a text message to 7215 with the word 'car' and you could win...blah blah blah....It only costs you 1zl($0.30) to enter"


.... And I don't want to say it costs nothing for the advertisers...but I will say this...You can go onto just about ANY carriers sight in Poland(and most any other country), as a guest, and send a free text message to anyone. Yes, you have to type in the 'picture code' but that is totally 'workable'. In Europe it is generally free to receive a text message whereas in the states it costs the subscriber money. When the advertisers in the US pick up on the idea that 'maybe they pay that quarter' for the end user to recieve a message...Then you should really look out... You're gonna have so many text messages or media messages you're gonna ring and vibrate your pants off.
