Hi Alton,
Google voice is officially limited to the United States only, so unless Canada just became the 53rd state ... :icon_cheesygrin:
Fetion is widely used by Chinese ladies ... that's how I learned about it. They don't tell us because you need a Chinese sim, but all that I asked use it.
It's very simple to use, you use Google translate to sign up with your Sim card online since everything is in Chinese, you receive an SMS with a confirmation code and your account is active. Then you ask your lady to add your number to her Fetion friends, you get a contact request which you approve, click the default highlighted button which is ok ^_^. Your default view is a contact list. Double click your contact and enter your text and send, easy as MSN etc...
Of course here your lady can reply. I sometimes send Chinese because you can send half a book with the 188 caracter limit, where you can only send a couple of sentences in English ... Chinese is so efficient :icon_cheesygrin:
Downsides: the Windows Mobile application only works with the China Mobile Sim in the phone, so I can't use it in France with GPRS or 3G connection. And the interface is in Chinese, but for basic usage it's easy to figure out.
