Text Me, Maybe? (December 18, 2025)

[Bandit LOAF]

Here's a neat piece of ephemera: it's a gaudy advertisement that ran in the October 2008 issue of play3, a German PlayStation magazine promoting phone downloads. This was back when you could add things like ringtones, themes, backgrounds, games and other content to your pre-smart phones by sending a text message to purchase or rent it. And in this case, if you look past all the pornography, you'll find that the people at HandySMS were offering Wing Commander ringtones, both the overture from the movie and the Cobalt 60 Prophecy song! Did anyone ever use this service? It would be great to find these files today!

It seems that the Cobalt 60 song was a big hit 🔥🔥
