Just call 858-2PINGER, say the mobile # of the person you want to send a message to, record and hang up. Recipients get an SMS with a local phone # to call to retrieve their messages, and members can select email notification and listen to their messages on the web.

We have addressed the passenger or public transportation issue. The child/teenager can request ( with 1 click ) that the feature be disabled. That request goes directly to the parent who responds with the word ALLOW. The app goes offline for 4 hours. 911 is available at all times. Please note we assume that SOME parenting is involved in the texting and driving discussion. If the child diables it, that is a parenting issue, not a technology issue. Thank you for the input.

It was easy, you arrived, walked to the general area, looked around, found them and sat down. Now, go to the beach, watch people arrive: they walk up to the beach, make a call on their mobile, and someone on the beach stands up and waves. Besides providing the networks with completely unnecessary revenue, we're making ourselves stupid - are we incapable of making a decision, or finding something without constantly checking in with someone?

So eLYK Innovation, you have correctly identified a problem, and not correctly identified a solution. Well done, I am sure your company will make billions. Problems: Riding in a car rather than driving Public Transportation Emergencies For those of you who think that SMS is a dying technology...think again.
