Sponsor SMS Text News
SMS Text News is one of the mobile industry’s most influential blogs, tracking news and delivering informed opinion on a daily basis.
Launched in January 2006, the site has niche appeal, attracting mobile industry analysts, executives, operators, equipment manufacturers, angel/VC investors, entrepreneurs and mobile geeks. In addition, the site is monitored continually by mainstream media and other influential bloggers.
The SMS Text News feed is fully available on the web and as a result, it is republished and streamed by hundreds of other websites and mobile related services, including a huge array of company intranets. Therefore, an accurate reader statistic is extremely difficult to calculate – a rough guestimate puts the SMS Text News monthly audience at 3 times unique hosts.
We guestimate our audience at around 150,000+ visitors per month.
We work directly with our sponsors — so we’d be delighted to discuss how we can work together. In the first instance please drop an email to ewan@smstextnews.com with your enquiry or to request a media pack.
Ewan has normally got his Nokia E61i on, wherever he is, so you should generally expect a quick response.

Unlock public toilets in Finland by text message
Authorities, wanting to try and avoid damage to public toilets have come up with an interesting solution. In order to use the toilet, you have to text ‘OPEN’ to a shortcode — which immediately opens the door. Provided, one imagines, no one is actually inside at the time.
In this way, if someone damages the facilities, authorities have the relevant mobile numbers to follow-up. That won’t work too well if the person’s using an unregistered pay-as-you-go sim card — but generally speaking, it’s hoped that this should act as a deterrent to would-be vandals. Cool idea!
You could get some rather interesting statistics from this too, couldn’t you?
