You were warned not to talk to strangers, but some mobile phone companies are hoping you’ll pay extra to do just that.

Several US wireless companies, including Cingular Wireless, Amp’d Mobile Inc., and Alltel Corp., jumped on the ”social networking" bandwagon this week, offering software for their handsets that connects strangers to each other in much the same way as websites like MySpace.com.
