No mobile confirmation in Canada?
So I inputed my mobile / cell phone number, but never received my confirmation number. Is this because it's Canada and not the U.S.? Or is there something else going on? (My phone is a Blackberry Pearl 8130, FYI).
I’m annoyed

Inappropriate?I'm afraid that the SMS functionality is US-only. However, you can do everything via email, too (search on here).

Inappropriate?Alright, well fortunately I have email on my phone, so I guess you're off the hook... for now. ;)
I’m undecided

Inappropriate?What is it with services stopping at the US border? Please add Canadian mobile services, too!

Inappropriate?I get messages from BK in Canada, but it doesn't seem to like me sending command in... *hoping for Canada support soon*

Inappropriate?Despite the claims on the Brightkite website that Brightkite doesn't work outside the US I am able to successfully use the SMS service here in Calgary, Alberta. I use Fido (which is owned by Rogers) so it might actually be a service-by-service issue (eg. I can't imagine Bell letting anyone else use their network). I thought someone at Brightkite should know their lovely product does indeed work up here in "America's Hat".
I’m pleased

Inappropriate?At first it did not work for me when entered my Canadian mobile number properly in full (with the +1). I tried again with just ten digits and it worked perfectly. (This must be a bug of some sort.)
I’m alright
