Messaging International Plc ('the Company')
Web2SMS Launched with Pelephone Youth Brand
Messaging International Plc, the AIM traded provider of innovative messaging
services, has, through its subsidiary TeleMessage Ltd, launched the Web2SMS
service with Pelephone, one of Israel's leading mobile service providers. The
service, which will be branded and offered under the Pelephone youth brand,
allows Pelephone mobile subscribers to send SMS from any site, while browsing
the Internet.
The Web2SMS service adds an SMS Toolbar to the Internet Explorer web browser,
allowing subscribers to send SMS from any site, while using established contact
lists, groups or phone numbers. This Toolbar can be downloaded free of charge
and messages sent are charged to the subscriber's mobile phone bill. Messaging
International will receive a percentage of the revenues received from every
message.
The agreement expands Messaging International's partnership with Pelephone -
earlier this year Pelephone launched the Company's Mail2SMS service to its
customers. Pelephone subscribers can now send SMS messages from the most common
PC programmes, either Mail2SMS from Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express or
Web2SMS messages from the Internet Explorer Toolbar.
Messaging International Managing Director Guy Levit commented: 'Following
Pelephone's successful launch of our Mail2SMS solution, the natural step was to
expand the service to the youth market. The Toolbar and Outlook Express Plug-in
are ideal interfaces for this market segment.'
Schraga Mor, Pelephone's VP Content and Services commented: 'Being able to
address all mobile market segments from the PC is extremely important and helps
us give an end-to-end solution to our customer base. We are the first operator
in Israel to launch the unique PC to Mobile messaging interfaces and we are
looking forward to launching additional services based on TeleMessage's
innovative technology.'
