Additional Stuff
Native SMS is a free service. You only pay your normal carrier fee to send an SMS. To support the service we will occasionally send you two messages in reply, the venue you searched for and an advertisement. Please help us keep Native free by supporting our sponsors.

We will never SPAM your phone. Period. No one else outside of our server and the telecom ever sees your number. We will only send you an advertisement when you request a record.

Keep in mind that SMS has limitations as far as the size of the message. Messages with Roman characters can have up to 160 characters while messages with at least one Chinese character in them are limited to 70. Native has a lot more information on offer. If you want a more advanced experience with access to reviews, more help on navigation, and the ability to direct dial the venue, get your cell phone online and go to MobNat.com or check out our tutorial first.

Not all phones support Chinese characters. If your phone doesn't, go to MobNat.com on your phone's browser. Native can display Chinese characters as image files on our website so that any phone can view them.
