Our phones supports this feature, but in the Philippines our networks (Globe and SMART) doesn't support them.
Just want to know if your network supports them and your feedback/comparison of it versus SMS over SMSCs

I use it,..and its very fast indeed
With gsm you have the "sending message" appear,..and after a while the "message sent".
On gprs you only see the "message sent" part,...the "sending message" you dont really see.
And I dont even pay for it...yet
Have used it since summer 2001, so I guess that I've saved some money on this

Hehe,..well there isnt really much to say.
You just go to datacomm and put:
"sms via gprs"
You will be able to see if it works with your operator. Just look at the speed of the message being send

Nope
On gprs you dont pay for the time,..you pay in kb
And the operator havent figured out yet, how we should pay,..soooo
Of course I pay for the gprs-account itself, but not the traffic.
When I read my phone-bill, it doesnt say anything about sms-messages at all.
So for now gprs-traffic is free, but it wont last forever

You don't pay for GPRS?
I pay for kBs - aprox. 0,015 EUR/1 kB.

Radek : As I wrote earlier, its only a matter of time, before we will.
The operators are working on this, and within the next month, I guess we will be paying for the traffic.

jh67: Yes, I undestood.
But are you testing GPRS for you operator?Because in my country the operators didn't started GPRS until they have solve this payment conditions. They didn't give us any free of charge time (kB).

No Radek,..I'm not testing for them.
I'm just a normal user, like everybody else.
They released gprs in 2001,..but not a lot of people know/knew that you could send sms via gprs, and not pay for it.
And the operator will say the opposite, when asked this question
They know that they are loosing money right now,..and they are working on a solution.
