Phlogger currently comes with 3 different functions.
(a) Posting entries via SMS
(b) Posting entries via MMS

The above services (a), (b) and (c) are provided for free, thus the only charges you incur are those to your mobile phone operator for the SMS/MMS you send out (depending on your subscription plan).

3. How do I use Phlogger?
To find out how to use this service, you must sign up first.

4. Will I receive spam on my handphone?

(b) to allow you to have a link between your handphone and the internet, without the risk of publishing your handphone number to anyone and everyone

As such, Whisk Technologies assures every user that they will not receive any advertisements, spam, or unsolicited messages via email or on their mobile phone, originating from registering for this service, with the exception of important Phlogger announcements.

5. What are my personal particulars used for?
Phlogger requires your personal information as this service involves indirect hosting of your entries/articles/publications on our websites. Currently gauging by the overwhelming number of users that have already signed up for this service during the beta-testing phase, we need to implement this in order to prevent abuse of the system. Rest assured that your information is safe for us, and will not be used for any other purposes other than for account administration.
