The big question is for the people without Unlimited Text plans. Will these be just like carrier "promotional" messages, where they do not count as a message. It that is not the case, then this program will have big issues. I for one have been waiting for something like this. A text message telling me there is a Tornado Warning or something would be very helpful. I hope there is more preference than just "Opt out" For example, I would be much more willing to get an Amber Alert Text in the afternoon while eating than at 5 AM when I am asleep. Even better, have it send messages based on the current region you are in, for example, while traveling, you would get warnings for that area, not your home region. The EAS system in America is incredible, tie it in correctly with Mobile Phones, suddenly everywhere you are, you know about impending danger. However, overuse will cause people to ignore it, use it correctly, it would be a very good thing to have.
“Apart from the fact that it's got a bit of infamy to outgrow, the old model was a pretty sharp-looking handset and the Storm2 refines that look in all the right ways.”
