DLVA Vehicle Enquiry - SMS

Submitted by: Jonathan Bradshaw

Describe your idea. How does it work and who does it help?

The provision of an SMS (text) based interface to the DLVA vehicle inquiry service would make the capability more accessible. It would help people who are considering a purchase but who have limited time, at an auction for example.

I'm trying to create a version of my service for devices with small screens - you might find it better able to display information than an SMS (which would also cost money to send).
