How big are your files?

Hmm ... data transfer ... this is a tricky question only penny-pinching frogs can ask. But it's indeed an excellent one. Everything has been made to consume as low bandwidth as possible from our mobiles. It's so light that it takes 0.5 up to 3 sec per page.

VMN City News sends data in a plain text-image based format of less than 4KB per page on average (1KB min/10 KB max), which is the equivalent of a 4,096 character message ... at a fraction of the cost of a SMS.
Frogs hate SMS as much as French cooking. SMS are limited to 160 characters only and cost a real fortune. How many times did you send an SMS of less than 100 characters such as "We r @ Loopies bar. Until 22pm. Waiting 4u"? 42 characters billed at a gold price! (Most frogs are now using IM on their mobiles instead of SMS. They WAP instant text messaging over GPRS or over a free WiFi hotspot. What MIM are you using?).
