Service Review – Chime – 4 Stars
Admit it. You’re jealous of the people who post FaceBook status updates from their phones. You’ve seen the phone icon and thought, “I wish I had a fancy phone that could do that.” Now you don’t need one. With Chime, you simply create a link between your mobile number and your FaceBook (or Twitter) profile, and you can update your status via SMS. It’s not free, but it’s a standard mobile number, so if you’ve got a capped plan and don’t tend to go over your limit, then the message costs will be part of your cap. Cheap and effective.
