In 'send sms' page, previously used numbers are 'remembered' and ready for quick selection.
14:12 BST: Outage: Things seem to be looking better; queued messages have been sent. Will keep an eye on things.
14:06 BST: Outage: there appears to be a routing problem with my internet service provider. Ironic that this is the first time in a year that I've had any problems with them. Messages will be queued for sending, but will only be delivered once this issue is resolved.
Much cheaper provider being tested: if it works out (i.e. reliable), price should drop to GBP0.025 per message.
