9.2 Whilst we do what we reasonably can to ensure that all third party information information including retailers and other Service users is current and accurate, this is not in our control and we therefore give no assurances and shall have no liability for any such information.

Nothing in these terms is intended to limit or exclude our liability where we are not permitted to do so in terms of local law. For the avoidance of doubt, we shall not be held liable (except where we have been grossly negligent) for any loss of or disruption to any other application or service stored on your mobile phone due to it being incompatible with the Service.

9.4 Notwithstanding the above, if we should be found liable for any reason, such liability shall (insofar as it may be limited by law) not exceed the total cost of the products or services purchased using the relevant aspect of the Service which is the subject of the claim.

How does work ? Should I go for it ?

I couldn't get it working anyway

Seems like you text from within a downloaded Java applet, while paying your network to be connected to the interweb. It's supposed to be much cheaper but I guess depends on your connection charges.

Not sure I could be bothered texting within an applet anyway. On my phone (V3) that would probably take an age - and texts are a pain as it is anyway.

For a big texter with plenty of time (aka a student!) it might be worth it.

tvr

is there not a minimum gprs connection charge with vodafone that would erode any savings. I am open to correction.

muppetkiller: Is there something in those terms you'd like to warn us about? DOLLOPING the entire terms here without pointing out anything of concern or interest is useless.

I think someone has a link to an applet in the Mobile forum that works with all the Irish sites from your phone so you can send a txt for a quarter of a cent. So you wouldn't be using a 3rd party and get to use your own number.
