From the link:<p>&#62; Hi everyone,<p>&#62; Thanks for responding so quickly. We are looking into the &#62; issue, and as soon as I have an update, I'll post it &#62; here. If you don't have an unlimited SMS plan, and &#62; you're worried about SMS charges, please let your carrier &#62; know about the situation.<p>&#62; -Zeke<p>Shit happens.
