UKMark, for what it’s worth, I think the SMSWallet is a great idea. One problem might be that Americans don’t know what an sms is.

American here. I text (SMS) every day. I’d venture to say more people text now than ever. However, more and more people are moving away from SMS and to something like WhatsApp and WeChat. I do live in Silicon Valley… so, that too can affect it.

Oh yeah. When twitter launched at SxSW all those years ago, THE way to use it was to have it SMS you your tweets. We would use this to then do impromptu tweet-ups: “I’m at Bodega in Santa Monica, anyone wanna join me for a glass of wine?” and by the end of the evening, you’d be rolling 30 deep. No lie.
Then everyone and their mother started hopping on the twitter bandwagon and posting what they were eating for dinner, and the utility plummeted, so everyone went back to SMS’ing eachother directly. But we’ve been SMS addicts for a while now.
