Unimobile.com Enables WAP Devices to Use Two-Way Global Text Messaging

WAP is an open, wireless specification that empowers global mobile users to access and interact with information and services easily and instantly. As a member of the WAPForum, Unimobile.com has developed this technology to work with the standards employed by the coalition so that relevant information and services can be delivered to mobile users in a timely manner. Unimobile WAP can be accessed at http://wap.unimobile.com.
"Unimobile WAP is a great example of delivering rich applications to mobile users, like myself, to make their mobile lifestyle more effective and enjoyable," said Jeff Cable, vice president of worldwide marketing for Magellan Corporation. "I can now easily send a message to any of my friends or co-workers who have mobile devices. With my demanding schedule, this product is a great time saver as I can send a quick note and then get back to work with just one click."
"Creating lasting stickiness is a universal goal for Web-based communications products, but it is even more attainable in the WAP space because consumers are increasingly using browser-based applications to enable personal messaging," said Scott Goldman, CEO for WAP Forum. "Unimobile WAP, developed by Unimobile.com, and other WAP solutions developed by WAP Forum members help in achieving this goal."
