(*) aren’t there Second Life users in Canada, or am I wrongly interpreting the +1… number plane division between USA and Canada?
Hi there,
Just a quick note to say thank you to everyone who has signed up so far, the response has been great and we’ve been told that many of you are finding it easy to use and useful!
We’d also like to clarify some questions we’ve been having regarding the costs for using the service.
Until November 30th when you initiate calls and text messages from within Second Life, all calls and text messages are free-of-charge - we may extend this period of free calls and texts if you’re all enjoying it, so please feedback any comments you have!
For more information, please check out http://secondlife.vodafone.com/cost.aspx.
Thanks,
The Vodafone InsideOut Team
In a perfect world everyone would be able to communicate with everyone else, independently of technicalities like communication protocols, network formats and the standards being used.
Unfortunately we’re not living in a perfect world.
If you try to activate your Vodafone InsideOut HUD and never receive an SMS on your real mobile phone, or if you do receive it but the reply you sent never received another reply back, help us helping you and tell us about it.
Please leave a comment here stating your experience. If you feel comfortable with it, leave your Second Life user name (but never leave your mobile number). Tell us as much as you can about your country and operator (e.g. is it GSM or other kind of network; what is the operator; did it fail on the first SMS or the second one; do you also have issues with mobile to mobile connectivity; etc.), so we can trace back and check the reasons.
Currently we have an half a dozen countries with confirmed failure while delivering the SMS’s, which we’re already taking care of, but we still need your help to identify further countries or operators.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello again.
We’re having some fun on the Vodafone InsideOut island during our launch week (October 1st to October 7th), and we’d like you to come and join us!
We’re hosting a launch party on Thursday October 4th. The Second Life renowned DJ Jenns will be on his decks from 18:00 - 22:00 UK time, that’s 10:00 - 14:00 Second Life time. You can make music requests by sending DJ Jenns a text message using Vodafone InsideOut. Find the party on the border of the Vodafone Islands.
We’ve also hidden treasure chests all around the island, which have special goodies hidden in them as well as some L$ prizes as well. All you have to do is go in and find them. They’ll be hidden in new places and refreshed with new prizes everyday! In order to redeem the prizes, you’ll need to subscribe to the service (which only takes a couple of minutes) and you can do that right here on the website.
Enjoy!
The Vodafone InsideOut Team
