sms via icq with the new mobile companies

[Guy Sheffer]

Hey,
ICQ currently does not run on most carriers anymore. They terminated nearly
all agreements with carriers. Therefore chance new carriers might work is
IMHO zero.

They used to list the carriers in http://www.icq.com/sms , but now that
page is just full with junk
I followed this closely because of SMSer which I wrote.
