I need to pick up a couple of pre-paid SIM CARDS with Telstra today. They offer 1c per SMS between prepaid users, and this will be good to load test the SMS software as well as to test the SMS based tracking phone when it arrives in a few days. I am not sure how reliable the 1c SMS will be, but I cannot complain for the price. Dick Smith also have one that comes with a phone for only $20 more so that might be cool too. Then again I have more phones here already than I know what to do with. Australia has more SIM cards than people. I am one of the reasons for that.

I have done some digging into Pherotones. It seems that the company has its domain registered in North Carolina. I am guessing here but it is my guess that this site is being operated by McKinney Silver for a number of reasons. According to their registration information, they are also registered in North Corolina. But that is is not proof… Not by a long shot. Through some digging I have believe that McKinney Silver have classified this microsite as an interactive client, with job number 7216. I have emailed McKinney Silver to confirm this. Basically this sounds like a grass roots gurilla advertising campaign to me.

Time to get going… Reality TV, here I come!
