    Hi everybody,

    A while back I registered at Zong (http://hosted.zong.com) now basically it is a service that allows members to cerate a key word for their friends to start a message with when sending a text to a number that is hosted by zong. The text messages would then be emailed to you as well as updated on your own automatically created RSS feed. (confused? Example at bottom)

    It seems now that the dev's have ran off, I can no longer sign up for a new service, the forums have been out for weeks on end, and the service I have at the moment can't be updated/changed. I was wondering if anyone new any other services that offer similar functions and that are free as we will mainly be using it for our college radio show which is valunteer.

    Thanks,
    Connor


    *EXAMPLE*

    Listener sends a message starting with DPF to 67890 and their message. The service instantly replies to them with "thanks for texting Digital Point Forums (this would be different obviously) we have your text". The listeners text is then sent via email or RSS to the DJ who reads their texts, all this happens in the space on 60 - 120 seconds.
