Government shuts down SMS January 27th, 2011 at 10:29pm | 1 comment Tags: Egypt | Mobinil | police | SMS | Telecommunications | twitter
There were reports circulating among Egyptian activists that the govt was about to shut down SMS, to continue with its crackdown on communications and the flow of information about protests.
Only few mins ago, I tried to send out a text message and it failed, and so did my mother, and so did other friends. I’m getting similar confirmation from other activists and journalists.
I called up Mobinil and the customer service claimed there were no problems whatsoever.

Facebook, Twitter and Blackberry 3G network are blocked. SMS is either blocked or very very slow at sending ATM. It says it is sent, but the receiver does not get any sms, nor do I get a delivery sms.

just wait for the response of the new energy influx.

you wanted one world?
global coherence uptick ahoy.
Thou hast power only to act not over the result thereof. Act thou therefore without prospect of the result and without succcumbing to inaction. The mind acts like an enemy for those who do not control it...Perform your obligatory duty, because action is indeed better than inaction...Sever the ignorant doubt in your heart with the sword of self-knowledge. Observe your discipline. Arise.

I believe it to be "Short Message System".
Basically the Text Messages sent by phones, whose messages have eclipsed emails in 2010.

The relationship between morality and liberty is a directly proportional one.
"Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters." - Ben Franklin
