Tired of paying outrageous rates for text messages? Think that $1,000+ a megabyte is just a tad excessive? [$0.10 for 1/10 Kb = $1000 for 1 Mb.] Here's your answer, then:
smsBug provides for the worlds first secure SMS at a ridiculous price from your mobile phone.
smsBug is a free SMS Client application which is downloaded onto a Java-enabled mobile phone. In order to make use of this new and exciting application, your mobile phone must be GPRS-enabled and will make use of GPRS provided by your mobile operator.
smsBug leverages the power of the Internet to bring you an alternative route for sending SMS messages. You no longer need your mobile operator for the delivery of SMS messages. smsBug sends SMSs over GPRS through the Internet to the smsBug Portal, from where SMS messages can be sent to mobile networks worldwide.
Hat tip to Mobitopia for the pointer.
PS Has anyone else noticed that "disintermediation" has more syllables than "cut out the middleman"?
