The Txtbux service has now been discontinued.

I'm unable to make the developments needed for the system to continue to work, and as mobile device access becomes better, there are now many alternatives out there for mobile price checking - for example RedLaser or Amazon's own mobile site and iPhone apps.

At the time of its launch (2003) the Txtbux system was revolutionary - allowing access to online shopping from a simple mobile device, and integrating SMS, the web and e-mail at a time when this was virtually unheard of.

Thanks to all the users who have used it over the last 6 years.
