French get an Orange iPhone
Tuesday, October 16, 2007

I mean an iPhone via Orange Mobile.

Apple and Orange (for those of you who don’t know a wireless provider in the UK) today announced that the French unit of Orange will offer the iPhone in France.

The 8GB iPhone will be sold in France on November 29 for 399 Euros. Their press release didn’t say anything about pricing for plan but they will probably be similar to the pricing plans in the UK.

The French version of the iPhone will also have access to the wireless itunes store.

Yoober offers free SMS Texting on call Carriers?
Tuesday, August 14, 2007

Today I recieved a press release in my inbox, and like always I read them and decided whether they warrant a post or not. Today I received one from a company called Yoober, and in the press release they promise free texting etc.

So I read the press release and visit their website to see what the catch is, and while there really is no catch you do need a data plan to use their supposed free text technology.

Basically you download their software and send messages to friends who are also using their software. They send the messages over the Internet. But you do not incur any texting charges. WOW Free texting!!! Yeah right.

The Yoober software uses your data plan to send the messages and data plans tend to cost just as much if not more than text plans.

The CEO of Yoober claims to be a texting addict who wants to make the Telco’s suffer by offering a free Texting alternative, but I think his software would just bring in more money to telco’s because it uses the more expensive data plans they offer.

Yoober does not offer free Texting, it just piggy backs on a more expensive service.
