uboot is brilliannt. Ever since I first got onto it I have used every single time i have been on the net and I feel this is the complete online mobile package. It is completely geared towards connecting the mobiles and intenet, and includes many different features

In my uni and with my friends on the internet it seemed to reach a high level of interest around christmas but due to some problems many dropped it as a regular visitor. However in recent months it has proved my worth to have stayed with it. Before, when you opened your inbox you could not tell who the messages were off but this has since been changed. All the broken links have also been corrected.

It can send text messages as expected but does it far easier than having to go through many pages of terms and conditions i.e. lycos (which many peeps still use). It has an address book where you can store the numbers you want to text with their names, email address etc. This is very VERY useful as it dramtically cuts down the time needed to send them (if you can type quickly then it is faster than using your mobile). I have found that text messages are received within 30 seconds although it seems other people have disagreed with this. Overall, you can hold a text message conversation with someone on a mobile.

It can send emails and the address book is set up very well to allow you to get the names you want very efficiently. The only problem is that sometimes when others receive my emails they find that it is all in one paragraph with a square where the paragraph ending should be…(if you are like me you will then only read the first 3 lines….if so you will not be reading this!!)

I feel receiving emails is probably the best part as you get them to your phone. Providing that you have got the persons address stored in you book it will send you the first 200 characters…basically enough to grasp the content of it. BEWARE that when you log on this will then register as no new messages even though you have not read it all.

The best bits of it are:
 All sent text messages are stored
 The amount of storage space is huge…i.e. I don’t know how big it is but I have not run out. It also has easy to sort folders so if you like to always keep something on everyone then here is your chance
 you can send text messages to switzerland….yipee
 unlimited text messages…annoy everybody with pointless text messages
 the chat room is good for sparking english v german battles as the community is essesentially these two groups … 5 – 1 says it all at the moment
 u have your own little nickpage like the member page on ciao which is nice?!?
 it has a close community and also offers plenty of competitions and give aways… a while back it offered a free camera on registration so keep an eye out
 YOU CAN EVEN BUY UBOOT CONDOMS….HOW CLASSY IS THAT


The FEW FAR BETWEEN bad points are:
 the photo community – pointless
 no file sharing capabilities – limits the use of emails and thus prevented me from having this as my only email address
 it sells ringtones…anybody who has found this site probably knows where to find free ones

The only development required to ensure greatness is that they aquire orange and BT cellnet to allow mobiles to text back on the number given. vodaphone and 1-2-1 do this already so it does not even matter if you do not have a MOB.

Just be careful when you leave the computer that you log out as if you share computers with others, the next person will come to your personal area and send dirty text messages to your girlfriend etc (well I suppose it depends on what type of friends you have)

overall this is a great little service, it is easy to set up so why not try it out and if UR BOTTOM likes it????

p.s. As I have been using ciao for a few weeks now and have suddenly started to make friends I would like to thank everyone for the tips and also to ciao for helping me to realise how bad my spelling is.
