Call me

WTAI interface describes a format for the special links you can use on your mobile sites. E.g. a hyperlink that activates a call or adds a new entry to phone book. E.g.:

<a href="wtai://wp/mc;phone_number_is_here">Call now</a>

And here is a special taglib from Coldtags suite that simplifies the process.

SMS attachments


Our old idea – SMS with attachment. Share local media files from your phone by SMS. The main idea here is deploy the standard SMS client from your phone – so there is no need to open some accounts, connect to the some service, use premium numbers etc. for both parties. Sender will send an ordinary SMS right to the target phone. And recipient will get an ordinary SMS too. Just with the enclosed file.

All you need is just an internet connection on your phone (what is pretty standard nowadays). You can checkout mobile application SMS with attachments here:

http://sms.linkstore.ru

Or use QR code above for copying that link right to your phone.
