Usage Guide :
1. Download and dump this Location SMS.exe utility into your pda memory / storage card [ preferably into main memory ] - NO INSTALLATION NEEDED !

2. Open / Launch this utility

3. Wait for the utility to lock on GPS [ usually takes around few second for my case, but it depends on your location too ] - pls update the QuickGPS data as this help too!

Special Note :

please try out this utility yourself and report in for validation whether this utility really does send sms for free or not......i'd been told by the Eten user in other forum that this utility send out sms with attached GPS location for free. please give your feedback and confirmation.

if it does, then all GPS based PDA user is the happiest person in the world!

if it doesn't, then we all became the guinea pig d...lol and i'll change the title of this thread.....

guys, there's this Eten user in other private forum claimed that he's been using this utility to send SMS with GPS coordinate for free....

i'm not sure is this for real and that's why i posted this out for you guys to try out.

i couldn't really check as i'm a maxis post paid user with no itemized billing, and i would like to stress out that THIS UTILITY DOES NOT USE GPRS CONNECTIVITY TO SEND SMS [ as my device has all GPRS data connectivity blocked ].

the worst scenario is that, each SMS send out using this utility will be charged as your normal telco SMS rate, nothing more !

it would be really helpful for all of us here if someone using prepaid to test it out.

note : if this utility doesn't help to send out SMS for free, i'll change the title of this thread to avoid further misunderstanding. thanks.
