Is no one doing a Text Santa service?

Haven’t done one of these for a while and cant seem to find a service like this

I read this a few days ago on Pat’s blog — has anyone seen any Text Santa services being offered? It’s a wonder the Daily Mail hasn’t knocked up a promotion of sorts.

You could do some really neat things, you know, as long as you’ve got the parent/child’s permission, you could send frequent Elf updates from the North Pole. Suppose it’s a bit fraught with concerns. First, you do need a heck of a lot of permissions from the parent — but it’d be rather good if Granny could buy you a ‘Santa text pack’ at Tesco or somewhere similar, that you, as the curious, 7 year old Santa Fan, could then activate on your mobile in the lead up to Christmas.

In fact, forget the kids, someone, somewhere, must have knocked up an adult’s version of Text Santa — every day in December, someone win’s £1,000 or the like? Who knows. If you’ve seen any examples of Christmas mobile marketing, I’d be interested to read about them.
