For those stuck in offices during cricket matches, Cricinfo has been a popular destination to check scores and their live textual commentary has been a welcome consolation. Now, thanks to a tie-up with the US based Plusmo, the live commentary and score updates can now be subscribed on mobile phones. They call it the Cricinfo MobiCast.
Unlike other existing VAS services, the scores are not sent via SMS. Instead, one needs to key into http://ci.plusmo.com into the WAP browser to start receiving the scores. The catch here is that you need to have a GPRS enabled mobile phone. That leavs out a majority of mobile phone users.
While the service is free, the charges towards data connection as charged by the mobile operator still applies.
