OSLO, Norway—Telenor Mobile said it began several location-based short message service (SMS) services through an agreement with Pocket IT. Positioning data from Telenor Mobile’s network will be combined with map data from Pocket IT to help consumers find retailers and other locations.
One service offers locations of nearby points of interests, a restaurant service provides location data and a weather forecast service provides forecasts for either the next 24 hours or the next four days. Several entertainment services are also available.
