Not likely to be a working loophole for very long.
Customers of T-Mobile in the United States might be able to browse the web on their Android phone even if they don't have a data plan. Smozzy is an Android application that lets you browse through the web without a data plan, because the content is requested and delivered entirely via SMS and MMS messages.

When I do not have Data coverage (out of the city, on the open-range area) and only have a Phone coverage on my phone (Sensation)....it's handy.

Yeah, but, ehrm... Is unlimited messaging really unlimited and reliable?
A 150 KB web page would need 1,000 SMS to be downloaded, with no single data loss, nor signifficant lag, which would have to be sorted and rendered afterwards, so... Is this some kind of a joke or what? I just can't believe this can be put into practice at all.

A Very Cool App. It works just like surfing the net with your phone using Opera Mini: rendering and almost as fast.....Your text the URL, send and your replay is your connection :)))

Wow... I'd never imagine that'd work, but now, just when anybody could think there's anything else out there waiting to be invented, I see it does. Well done. Hope it lasts!

Awesome concept! Seems like a great thing for anyone in too awful an area, but it turns out to be even slower than the Edge network around here. Not really a surprise I guess, even old Data is Data.
Surely an amazing thing for anyone without the more expensive plans or in a more-or-less dead area.

In the very beginning I thought they was using Bit-Torrents since the text message is just a Pixel-Dust and do not cost any money to any phone Co. (Including International and Roaming Text).....that most Co's charge for it......ripping people off.

SMS is a text format with characters per message limitations. As it works ALSO with MMS, situation would substantially be different.
