3bells

The 3bells site offers Web-based SMS, e-mail to SMS, icons, and ringtones.

In the Help/FAQ it states "Currently, Horoscopes and Quote of the Day are available. Weather and News Headlines will be online very shortly", but the Horoscopes and Quote of the Day service (called "Info on the Go") has been suspended for the time being.

3bells has its own currency, the "bell", but there is very little information on prices before you sign up. Each new user receives five free bells. After subscribing, you'll find that you can purchase 50 bells for $10 or 184 bells for $35, for a total cost of from 19.02 to 20 cents each.

The joining process is a little restrictive in that you must provide a user name within a fairly strict set of guidelines: A-Z, a-z, ".", and not much else. But you are not told of this until you have done it incorrectly the first time and then you have to go back and fill in the whole form again (as it did not retain the rest of the information).

The site has a "remember me" option, which saves you from having to re-enter your login details--it takes you directly to your home page.

Overall, this is a fairly good site and worth keeping any eye on, but it currently does not have as many features as some of the others out there.

    Telstra and TransACT will shortly begin offering 100Mbps broadband to many customers. By moving early, the companies have not only raised the bar for Australia's broadband services, but thrown down a challenge to a government that now faces increased pressure to deliver the NBN as promised.
