Heheheh, I had to run out and get text messages enabled on my cell phone, I don't want to be missing out on whatever could end up happening over text.

I haven't gotten anything over in my corner of the US. Don't know what's going on exactly. Have any of you US-ites ever sent any messages to MC?

Glad someone posted about this - I got one on friday but thought nothing more of it!

Anyway, what the deuce is an "SMS Gateway" anyway? Yeah, I know SMS is Short Message Service, but why has a Gateway for them been activated, and why did I get a text telling me this?

So many questions! But fun!

Nothing on my New Zealand mobile, but really I think I'd be kidding myself to be sitting around waiting for one.

I think SMS Gateway means that they have put our mobile numbers into a program or service that will send a single message to all people in the service at once (like what was used at the PCAG in London).

Actually, I think the SMS Gateway means that Mind Candy has set up a gateway for PxC to send text messages to earth. Kind of like Kurt set up a gateway for us to call the PxCPD.

Regarding the phrase 'SMS Gateway', I think that in-game it means whatever esoteric means the Perplexians are using to transmit such messages from PXC to Earth, but OOG it refers to services provided by mass-mailing business SMS companies such as esendex and others...

(Yes, I used to spam people's phones using just such a service as part of my old job)

I'm with JoshTheBlack and Tintintin, I think it's so that the CRT can send us texts if they have to...
