Rather strange how the US has been so slow to cotton onto the benefits of SMS – rather far behind the UK, Europe, Oceania and South Africa. We (in South Africa) have been using SMS for such things as vehicle tracking (www.tracker.co.za), live voting at football matches, competitions – I even use it for alerts when my server is down. We too have had SMS banking for a while – see http://www.absa.co.za, http://www.standardbank.co.za. The next best thing coming up is USSD – another GSM technology thats easiset to describe as "menu-driven" sms.
