Gassama, This is news to me...I was with the impression that SMS services is not provided (locally) by any operator in The Gambia. So if I understand you right, SMS services is currently available in The Gambia. Thanks for the help. Br, Alieu PS: My interest stems from the fact that this is my area of speciality, and would like to know how this technology is unfolding in The Gambia. Presently I work for Nokia as a software engineer and perhaps one day I may come home and join your ranks in Gamtel....:-) _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
