Yeap, airman00, Webbot, and I are working on this in the background. airman00 (who makes the DroneCell) didn't want me to post it yet until he had his site updated.

Stay tuned for more info ;)

I will defiantly buy one when available.  I've had plans on automating my room and this would be perfect for remote operating.

is this the website?

Excellent. I'm sending a DroneCell into space in two weeks, myself :P

I actually spent an hour today going to the various cell phone carriers in the mall and finding out their text messaging plans to use for DroneCell. The prices were disappointing.

I passed the info on to airman00, and he said he thinks he can beat the price. :D

verizon by any chance?  I have the unlimited text plan already for my phone.  Would you just have to add another line?

Find out how much it costs to activate that new line, their text messaging per month fee, and how many months you can go without refilling before they de-activate your account.

airman00 is working on this to get you the best prices :P

true, verizon is rather pricey but where i live i get at least 3 bars and im in the woods.

Would it be possible to barrow a sim card from another phone?

ps; I don't think my sister would notice if her's was missing :D

yeap . . . but that'd only work for temporary stuff, or if you didn't have to say "i'm sending it to space and you might not see it again" :P

Its going to be fun for me - as I don't get much of a mobile/cell phone signal since I live in the sticks. May have to move various bits to different parts of the house at different times of the day. But then I guess thats called 'stress testing' !
