I forgot to unsubscribe to Street Directory before the free trial expired, so that means I'm going to have to pay the subscription for January. Which is not a big deal, only $3 (+$3 for my Straits Times subscription which I also forgot to unsubscribe to). The thing is, I was kinda planning not to incur any costs in the testing of the i-mode.
But it turned out I needed it, anyway. I had to drive to 2 locations today and didn't have a clue how to get to them, nor how to get home from the last location. Street Directory taught me how to. It's not perfect. There were a few times the site was down when I really needed it, and some of the directions it gives are dodgy, but there were also times it got me where I needed to be.
I also used my i-mode phone to send an urgent picture via iMMS because my recipient for some reason couldn't receive my e-mails. Cool. Sometimes, I really love having an i-mode phone with me.
Oh ok. You mean cheaper to send iMail from overseas instead of MMS. Cool, thanks for the tip :)

the cost of sending iMail and iMMS are the same.
when you send iMail to non-i-mode user, you can just type in the recipient phone number, the recipent will receive it as MMS.

i-mode users: You mean sending an iMail is cheaper than sending an iMMS? So, when I send iMail to a non i-mode user, I should type in a phone number instead of email address?
Anne: Sure, I can send you one. But my phone is charging at the moment, just went dead. Will send you after it's back up and running :)

hi there, share with u a tip..
you can send i-mode email to a non i-mode users, the recipient will get it as an MMS. This is particularly useful when you are overseas. you can send email to any phones in sg and pay only few cents, i.e. 2 cents per 1kbyte email while u roam w maxis/malaysia, cingular/US..etc.. really cheap compared to 60 cents per SMS roaming cost...
