AQA is one of those SMS Q&A services where you text it questions and it texts you back the answers. But now it’s launched a new service called AQA2U, which lets anyone set up a Twitter-style news feed that sends out your thoughts as texts to subscribers at 25p a time, up to a maximum of £3.50 a month.
