Group Text Messaging Made Easy

The Mobile Chat platform allows a group of mobile subscribers to engage in one-to-many, and many-to-many messaging. Mobile Chat is analogous to a mailing list or an e-group, where members of a group can send messages to a designated group address, and all members receive the messages. The difference is that Mobile Chat is seamless, easy and uses regular SMS and MMS messaging.

Unlike short-code based group messaging services, which typically require users to remember keyword commands, Mobile Chat is straightforward; send a message to the group number, and every member gets the message. Mobile Chat is also available to all US mobile subscribers, unlike short code-based group messaging, which is usually limited to several operators.

With Mobile Chat, consumers can conveniently communicate with groups of friends, family, or business contacts. One only needs to remember the group number, which can be added onto the phone book under the group name. Mobile Chat makes it unnecessary to specify each recipient of the message – the assigned group number indicates the group and can be conveniently saved in the personal phone book.

Mobile operators also benefit from Mobile Chat. Mobile Chat facilitates easy group communication, increasing usage, ARPU, and customer retention. And because Mobile Chat is subscription-based, the mobile operator earns revenue per group and/or by messaging traffic.
