Can anyone confirm whether public-service short codes are functioning at all on Speakout, regardless of what the official word says? I want to be able to access Vancouver transit info at 33333. For example, you could text the code 50924 to 33333 to get info for a bus stop on West Broadway.
I don't have a Speakout phone and I like the rates but this is the *only* thing stopping me. If I can't get bus stop info, I can't use the phone. I would be very happy if someone can help me out here.
See this thread. People have had mixed results and 7-Eleven does not officially support it. So if this is a deal breaker for you, I wouldn't take the chance.
