The current version of FeedeliX products (FeedelSMS for Ethiopic, enFeedelSMS for Latin script, and HindiFeedelSMS for Hindi script) were designed to work with the following requirements: 1) Cell phones with multi-media capability. Almost all phones made in the last 2 years or so by the major manufacturers (Nokia, Motorola, Sony-Ericsson), Sanyo, Samsung, etc are multi-media. The technical jargon is that they have to be MIDP 2.0 as opposed to the old MIDP 1.0 phones. Our market study had suggested that MIDP 2.0 are now very common but we are closely monitoring user interest in the older phone models. 2) Data service: Because our mobile software communicates with our web-based servers including for downloading, users need a data service from their wireless carriers. The technical jargon here is GPRS enabled phones. But all users in the US, Europe, Asia and most parts of Africa are already GPRS enabled and all they need is to make sure that their accounts include data access privileges. We strongly advise that users sign up for unlimited data access when using our products. Our marketing study indicate that the unlimited data services will save you a bundle. Sprint charges $10/month, T-Mobile $5-$10/month while Cingular has plans for $15.00/month. Major research reports in the wireless industry are predicting that these prices will further reduce in the near future. Disclaimer: However, please consult your carrier as this information changes with time. The following table gives a list of phones where our products have been tested successfully. We intend to update it regularly.
