More than 14,600 students who had registered to receive their results by mobile phone were informed of their scores via SMS, while another 6,279 called a special phone service.

Neat, very neat. Much better than popping along to get a piece of paper in an envelope.

… although, the more I think about it, the more exciting it might be to go along to school to pick up your results in a paper envelope. On reflection I wonder if getting your results by text, although convenient, is a little bit clinical. Not very ‘special’ is it?
