Right now more than 30 interesting projects/mashups have been created using the open movilforum APIs. Some APIs are totally free to use (no phone charges) others are have some SMS charges, users inside de Spanish phone network can register by sending a request to open@movilforum.com and ask for a demo account which includes free credit to test your mashups. Users outside of Spain can still register and receive the free credit, but they’d still have to pay for the international charges from their network of origin to the Spanish network.
