What are the known limitations of BUZme?

• Currently in beta, the following issues may come up, depending on your phone, your mobile carrier and the website you are visiting:

• Text message with personal mobile page URL not received – In some countries we are currently unable to deliver SMS messages. This will be resolved in the near future. Meanwhile, contact us to let us know in which country you are located.

• Text message with personal mobile page URL received, but I cannot click/invoke the URL in the message – Some mobile phones and some mobile carriers do not allow you to invoke a mobile browser from within a text message. If this is the case, write down the URL to your personal mobile page, type it directly in your mobile browser, and bookmark it.

• Some websites do not show up at all or are really messy on my mobile – Some websites simply cannot be displayed on mobile devices no matter what.
