Beep! It’s getting hot

In France, Jetmultimedia.com in cooperation with Nice’s town council, has launched an alert system (Contacteur Hyperphone) to tell elderly people about upcoming hot days. The service will also be able to deliver health and practical information. Messages can be transmitted through voice mail, sms, email, fax and snail mail. The system will be able to deliver about 10.000 messages per hour.
I wonder if the people getting the sms alerts will be the same now taking sms classes…
