100,000 sign up to FishText
Permalink: 100,000 sign up to FishText by Jan Harris
SMS text message service, FishText, has signed up 100,000 members over the three weeks since its launch.
The service offers SMS text messaging at significantly lower rates than Pay As You Go tariffs, by bypassing mobile operators’ networks.
FishText subscribers can save 95% of the cost of sending messages to contacts overseas, and can also send SMS messages to other subscribers to the service for free.
FishText was developed by CardBoardFish, a specialist SMS text messaging solutions provider.
Ben Fitter, Director of New Media at CardBoardFish, said: “FishText’s success demonstrates that traditional text messaging is an overpriced and underdeveloped service. Many users have expressed surprise that the FishText mobile application delivers text messages all over the world so reliably for just a couple of pence, while their own operator charges over ten times that amount with some not even providing delivery reports or charging extra for them.”
The service is ad-free, and runs on most Java enabled mobile handsets.
