Text messages to replace stamps in Sweden and Denmark

Short version: Danish service Post Danmark and Swedish postal service Posten AB are adopting a high-tech system to make it easier to post letters, packages and cards. Users simply text-message the word 'porto' to the number 1900. In return they receive a unique code that is written where people would have previously stuck a stamp. The letter or parcel is then posted as normal, and the code is read by sorting machines just like a normal stamp.
