I'm typically using HTTP (by means of WebViewer, a Java app), not WAP.
But I just checked, and was able to access superpages.com thru WAP.

Cingular isn't responsible for Google.

Also, Google SMS is still in beta, and not supported even by Google.

And you are?

My point was that Cingular could have been at least as informative as
you were.

No. Are you?

My points are that Google SMS is (a) outside of the service provided by
Cingular, and (b) still in beta. You might as well ask Cingular why our
mutual friend Millie isn't returning your calls, whether or not I happen to
know that Millie is out to lunch.
