There is also a nice feature that could be used with SMS: imagine that

the SMS is automatically shortened (eg by abbreviating words and stuff

like that) than it's compressed before being sent; I tried once and

there should be libraries that could fit the "dictionary" needed for

extraction + 500 characters in 302 chars... It means 2 SMS instead of

3 or more :)
