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: http://www.thaivisa.com/374.0.html Please stay tuned, and welcome to sign up for the BETA soon!

daleyboy Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 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?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also assuming you will be able to send messages via the Tv board?. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
