Welcome Issa.. spread the word!

Laila, you could email Sinan, he isn't swamped with traffic just yet, today is the first day for the service.

I'm guessing it's a caps-lock issue .. Hope it works out for you.

Hey all.
First off, thanks Samir!
Glad you liked it Issa.
Laila, there was a small technical error regarding some passwords. 5 users were affected, i resent the passwords to all of them. If you didn't receive yours, feel free to send me an email (you can find my email on the About page on Zamerli).

Hi Sinan, this is great. Is there any way you can make it where people in the US (or outside of Jordan) can also use it? This would be a great service for those of us who live abroad and can message our loved ones back home. Maybe we can signup using an email address instead of the Phone#??????

Thanks
Imad

Samia,
Please don't use this to SMS me. God knows what spam they will send me once they know my number. I mean it. It is like those greeting card websites. Once you send your "friend" a greeting card, you open the doors of spam for him. Don't send my anything using services like this.

Hey NAR,
I am the creator of that website, of course, you are free to believe whatever you want, but i'd like to make a couple of things clear.

First off, no way i will end up sending spam. This is not in the plan, and not anything i would accept to do. I sure want this to turn into a profitable project, but i care much more about the user experience. If you notice, i don't even self-promote in each SMS being sent.

Second, i don't plan to, but i might send advertisments. You have to understand that if this happens, it will be with the explicit acceptance of the recepient.

Currently the service is costing me a lot of resrouces; time to develop, money to buy hardware and credit, and CPU cycles, and there is no revenue whatsoever (noticed, there aren't even ADs on the website?). It is sad to see such a reaction out of something being done just for the good of users ...

Sinan,

I admire your ability to create such things and you sincerity. I hope your projet takes off, and that you set a great example of uccess story.

You are right to enphasize the users privacy, since they are your customers. Still, I am uncomfortable having my "personal" information disclosed.

I am not sure if you already have privacy statemnt/guarantee as part of your project. Also, what if you site gets hacked? These things have to be worked out if you truly want to make it professional.

I salute you.
