Sessami has built a network of contributors who submit details of events that are added to Whats Groovy!

The service can pick up on spontaneous activities and surprise shows. A Tell A friend! service lets users create their own community based on their phone mobile directory. Once an event is selected Tell A Friend! sends an invitation at the touch of a key which appears on the screen of as many invitees phones as the user chooses.

The sender needs a WAP phone but any phone and network can receive an invite.

Whats Groovy! offers services for the London area and has already been accessed by users in France Germany Spain and Italy.

From July local services will be offered in Glasgow Edinburgh and Manchester. Sessami has also begun its European expansion.

Also new is a new-look home page to make site navigation easier for its customers. For the first time ever from a mobile phone customers will be able to track DHL parcel deliveries. Under the Business section on vodafone.net WAP users can select the DHL parcel tracker site enter the airway bill number of the parcel and receive details of exactly where their parcel is.

Also in addition to AA traffic information about specific roads motorways or towns users can now receive route plans from the AA direct onto their WAP handsets.

Business users can get international or domestic flight information from Lastminute.com and Thomas Cook together with international weather forecasts from the Meteorological Office or Thomas Cook.

These additional services are just part of a programme of enhancements planned for the forthcoming months. Vodafone commercial director Paul Donovan said.

The sellers claim:

You can make free calls from your GSM phone and never need to recharge it again just use the kit and its upgradable software which contains all the latest security bypass codes.

Create FREE CALL cards for other people too it takes about 10 minutes. You can timebomb your Freecall Simcards to make them last only a day or a week or a month you choose.  That way your clients need to come back and get their cards re-authorised by YOU after a certain period of time. More money for you.

Our Kit uses a method known as Algorithm Triangulation. Although the call is connected the security feature that instructs the GSM provider to deduct call time from your account is scrambled.

A BTCellnet spokesperson told Mobile News:

It is a site that the networks are aware of. On behalf of the network security teams one of the networks applied to purchase the software advertised to see what if anything was sent.

This was done over a month ago. As of last week they had still not received anything.

There is nothing to suggest there is a product that could compromise GSM security in this way.

It is interesting that nothing has yet been received with payment having already been made.

The site requests payment by bank wire transfer and does not accept credit card orders outside the USA.

By the end of the year text messaging will have reached 750 million. It is important to recognise the variety of applications not just the volume as messaging moves from a verbal to a textual world said MDA chairman Mike Short.

Director Mahmood Khan said: The World of Accessories brand is confusing to customers of a group that provides mobile services.

The World of Accessories name continues for the companys accessories. Mobile Phone House has stores in Clapham Tooting Streatham Camberwell and Maidstone.

The package features the Nokia 3210 connection to Vodafone and a range of accessories plus a 12-month subscription to She Cosmopolitan or one of the other female titles within the Nat Mags range.

It is the first time that GMTV has endorsed a mobile phone commercial.

Last week a 60-second ad was aired once a day after 8am. This week there will be four 60-second and three 20-second ads also aired after 8am.

The Carphone Warehouse marketing head Jonathan Hook said:

We are always looking at innovative advertising and promotional ideas which are relevant to our customers and offer real added value. This is a fantastic promotion which provides customers with a great value package as well as free subscription to their favourite magazine.

This is the first time National Magazines has been involved in such a promotion. Martin Granby director of consumer sales and marketing said:

It is an excellent opportunity for National Magazines. The commercial will give us exposure to a huge percentage of our core target audience as will The Carphone Warehouses call centre promotion.

Its task is to take the Fone Range group into the area of character licensing.

Warner Bros is the first licensor. It means Fone Range Partnerships will be able to use characters such as Bugs Bunny Scooby-Doo and Batman as well as characters from Cartoon Network.

The rapid growth in the accessories market is being driven by younger people and the use of popular television and film characters provides a perfect fit to their demand for personalisation and differentiation said Brooks.

Warner Bros characters have universal appeal and timelessness which provides the ideal platform for our range of mobile phone accessories said Brooks.

Fone Range products featuring the Warner Bros characters will be available from next month.
