3jam Launches New Reply-All Text Messaging Service That Works on Any Mobile Phone
SAN DIEGO, Sept. 25 -- 3jam, Inc., a company focused on
new and better ways to keep people in touch with their friends, today
announced its 3jam reply-all text messaging service at DEMOfall 2006.
Available now at http://www.3jam.com, 3jam enables users to send a text
message to any number of friends at once, have everyone know who got the
message, and have the replies go to everyone.
3jam makes it fun and easy to coordinate and connect with people from
any mobile phone using any carrier-all for the price of a regular text
message. Using SMS, 3jam enables users to start a text conversation
instantly with any number of friends they choose, all at once, without
requiring the recipients to sign up for the service. However, signing up is
free, and no subscription or download is required.
"It's like reply-to-all for your mobile phone," said Andy Jagoe,
co-founder and CEO. "We started this company because we wanted a better way
to stay in touch with friends and were frustrated with the limitations of
today's text messaging. Before 3jam, there was no way to send one text
message to a group of friends where your friends could reply-to-all. Our
early users have found that 3jam not only makes it easier and more fun to
stay in touch, it actually makes socializing more spontaneous."
"Text messaging will drive 62 percent of consumer mobile data
application revenue this year, and it consistently ranks at the top of apps
that mobile phone users ages 13 to 34 are willing to spend money on," said
Jill Aldort, senior analyst for Yankee Group. "Reply-all text messaging
gives consumers new reasons to text message which will help continue to
drive this high level of usage."
How 3jam Works
Anyone who can send a text message can 3jam. No special software or
downloads are required because 3jam works on any wireless carrier and on
any mobile phone that supports text messaging. 3jam charges consumers
nothing to use the service. Consumers can send a single message to multiple
friends for the price of a standard text message.
Without requiring a mailing list or pre-defined group to be set up in
advance, 3jam users can choose who gets the message right when they decide
to send it -- whether or not their friends are signed up with 3jam.
Although web tools at http://www.3jam.com make it easier to sign up, add
friends and start 3jamming, users can do everything they need right from
their phones.
