SMS / New Info Request

All I can find out so far about SMS is that its "Short Message Service". I used COMAND to send a New Info Request, and got only a message that its not activated.

If it were, what is SMS and what's it good for?

Thanks,
Dave

SMS is "short message service" used to send and receive text messages with mobile phones.

Correct. However, the Info Services Dave speaks of uses SMS as well through the integrated analog TeliAid system. You need to sign-up to the Infoservice package offered by TeliAid however.

I don't think TeleAid Text is available anymore. It is my understanding that MBUSA only offers TeleAid Voice. This is the message received when trying to access TeleAid Text in the 'Owners Online' section of the mbusa.com website:

We´re sorry. As of July 1, 2002, the Premium Text Services package is no longer available to new subscribers.
Your Premium Voice Service package represents an evolution in the Tele Aid service. Tele Aid is transitioning to a voice-delivered services platform. This new package will enhance your driving experience.

Interesting. Just read that as well after you pointed me there.
