Vodafone launches phone service within Second Life

Vodafone has finally launched its mobile service for Second Life, a year after we first heard about the idea.

The "InsideOut" idea is that Second Life users can call each other within the virtual world by using Vodafone-branded handsets within Second Life. The interesting part is that users can text each other in the real world, and we're starting to see more and more crossover between on and offline communities and services.

The service is free until November 30; users need to go to the Vodafone InsideOut vending machine. Anyone actually got time to do this?
