Naw, VZW is more likely to strike up an exclusive deal with Yahoo to get it onto their phones at a staggeringly expensive "VDirections" or some such nonsense. VZW are getting greedier by the day, especially in regards to anything data-related on their network. I mean, have you SEEN the VCAST prices? *GAG*!
 Doesn't work?
I thought this would be interesting so I tried it. When I clicked on 'send to phone' it gives an error message
'Internal SMS Error 3' Must have a couple of bugs in the works yet. (My phone is with AT&T/Cingular)
Just a WAP URL?GenericMan @ 2/18/2005 3:13:27 PM #
I have a T-Mobile phone but no data service. I received a message on my phone that said something like:
From CMU, to Home, 3.4 miles, 8 mins http://wap.oa.yahoo.com/surl/a9adaad1aeb5 Without WAP service, this is useless. Even with WAP service, I can't "click" the URL to open a web browser on my phone. I don't understand how hard it is to send the directions as a text message (or a series of messages).
