is ther any link ( english ) to explain exactly what we would be letting ourselves in for ? - the above is sad salesdroid marketing speak explaining very little.

the reason I ask is having recently been in malaysia using a pre-paid sim for a couple of months - I was constantly bombarded with sms offers which ended up being quite irritating.

I agree that SMS spam is very annoying!

Don't worry, marketing of our mobile services will be done via Thaivisa.com website and related services, and NOT as via SMS spam. We will also amend our privacy policy to cover this, the current privacy policy is located here:

Please stay tuned, and welcome to sign up for the BETA soon!

I am assuming it is only those based within Thailand that will be able to sign up for the beta service? I am also assuming you will be able to send messages via the Tv board?.

[chuchok]

Should be a cracker.

[Boon Mee]

Sounds good George - this is Thailand-specific?

[lamphun]

I hope it remains free.

It will be be two or three diffrent BETA programmes, as it will be both free and paid services.

All members, regardless of location, will be able to join the first BETA programme, to send free SMS worldwide. That's the reason we are doing a beta test, to ensure that it works from every corner of the world. We will limit the beta testers to 100 members or so, atbleat in the first phase.

Members with Thailand SIM cards (AIS, One-2-Call, DTAC, Hppay-Dprompt, Orange) will be able to get our next BETA products for free, premium content.

I am not able to give further details at the moment, I simply don't know the tech details yet.

Cool thanks for the answer George.

I am happy to help test it if you wish

[Ice Maiden]

Yes, Huski is working on it, we need the new version of Invision first though, but they have some teething problems with the new version of the forum software. A x-mas present maybe?
