Hey man its good to be suspicious, you don't get anything for nothing in this world, but in this case you do, its the companies who pay, but no Michelin, I am with you there, sunshine all the way, i like to come back with my Le Mans Burn, no matter how much cream i put on or how much shade i sit in a always get the burn. Sorry i digress, currently we only link through the UK networks, so all UK mobiles are free, as for how much it would cost to receive on a German network, at this time, not work time, in the evening i could not give you an honest answer, i will look into it for you and let you know. I should imagine you would get charged you normal SMS text rate no more, as this is just a standard text message, not premium rate. So whatever that is from free to 5p(or euro equivilant) tp 10p. Worst case is 24 times 10p. But let me check that for you as i don't want to be responsible for a huge phone bill next month If you do want to sign up though anbd are non UK, rememebr to put your country code on the sign up, ie +44 for us in blighty!

Does anyone know how much it costs to advertise? ?? I can send you an advertisers info pack if you are interested, we want as many advertisiers as possible to be sure this works and we can expand the service in the future. Advertsing budgets are up to you, they sell as text bulk buys so to speak. So your budget may allow you 100 texts or 1,000 or 10,000. As this is Year 1 at LM advertising pricing is all v low to get the thing going to prove the thing works as a business model. If you are a UK network mobile it is FREE to use.

we are meeting at Clackett Lane at 4:30 AM on thursday, so the boat, is, he stalls..........i can't find it right now but will be about half 6 i think. That should mean we get to BSJ in time for a pint or 7. This year is the year of the knacker convoy, i am shogun in a F plate merc 280 SE, one of those old S Class things which my mate bought for £50 as it was cheaper than a train fair home when he changed jobs and had to give up his company car!! It will have orange squack stripes as will the other 2 car, a pug 205 gti and a e30 beemer 325. Hopefully all 3 should make it in one piece!! We shall be announcing our arrival with either a plume of black smoke from one of teh cars or the flashing lights on the roof of a low lowder bringing us in!

'If you do want to sign up though anbd are non UK, rememebr to put your country code on the sign up, ie +44 for us in blighty' Sorry to be thick here, but does this mean, as I will be at the race that I should have entered +44 then my number to recieve while I'm at Le Mans???

sorry i was not being clear, if you have a uk mobile it is fine, you do not need a national code as it is run from a UK network. It is the same as if you called a mate of yours on his mobile and he was abroad, you still get through, but if you are calling a mate who lives abroad then you put the code on. Get it? Not sure if i'm making sense myself now, LOL If you have a UK phone, no need for the country code If you have a non UK fone we need the country code as part of teh number.

I hope it goes well for you, I think it is a great idea.
