Smart Money is the world’s first electronic wallet card linked to a mobile phone which won the 2001 GSM Awards for “Most Innovative GSM Wireless Service for Customers”. It was also cited as the “Best Product Innovation” award at the MasterCard Marketing Awards in Australia. [from smart.com.ph]

Umobile (ümobile), is an ad-funded mobile service owned by Smart Communications, that will be offering free load to its subscribers that agree to receive advertisements on their cell phones. There was already a similar service in Europe called Blyk, but Umobile is the first and only ad-funded mobile service provider in the Philippines and rest of Asia.
Umobile is targeting the 15 to 35 age bracket or the ‘youth and yuppies’ sector in the Philippines. Customers get P0.50 worth of pre-paid load each time a mobile ad message is received. As of now, membership is by invite only.

I know this may come late, because this particular Yahoo service started somewhere between late 2003 and early 2004, but its only now that I’m starting to appreciate it. If you are always on the go and don’t want to miss a single message on your Yahoo Messenger (YM), then you must use Yahoo SMS Messenger. All you need is an SMS-capable phone and you’re good to go!
To login, type
in yahooid password
and send to 62580 (for SMART subscribers, Php 2/text), 2258 (for GLOBE subscribers, Php 2.50/text). If your sign in is successful, you will receive a message from Yahoo! with a list of your online friends with their corresponding number IDs.
