Jangl announce free upgrade for private SMS
Jangl, Inc., the company connecting millions of online profiles and mobile phones, safely and privately, today debuted a major upgrade to its free service, enabling a text messaging capability that cleverly connects mobile handsets and personal computers for free SMS.
Together with its current service, today’s launch means that Jangl customers can now:
Be private: By talking, exchanging voicemails, and now swapping text messages — on any phone or personal computer — without ever sharing their private phone number;
Save money: By eliminating some text messaging fees and drastically reducing most long distance calling charges, and;
Stay connected: With anyone, anywhere, with or without your phone, easily adding friends to your Jangl network and choosing when and how they can connect with you.
In offering its new text message-enabled service, Jangl taps a huge market. According to leading technology analyst firm Gartner, about 936 billion SMS messages were sent worldwide in 2005, and that number will approach 2.3 trillion in 2010.1 Nearly all new mobile phones available today are SMS-enabled, according to CTIA.2
The addition of SMS capability reaffirms Jangl as the leader in bridging the web and the phone by broadening the company’s offering beyond voice and voicemail, and — when combined with other features recently released — strengthens Jangl’s value proposition for mobile consumers with active lifestyles on the social web. Jangl’s technology already connects 40+ million online profiles with mobile devices due to its customized, in-context service integrations with some of the web’s top social networking and online personals sites.
Jangl today also debuts a way to instantly get Jangl phone numbers for your email contacts, including those from Yahoo, Gmail, MSN, and Hotmail.
Jangl™ is the social communications leader connecting phones and online identities for millions who socialize, share and create online. In 2007, Jangl and telephony platform leader JAJAH entered into a strategic partnership to collaborate on new services and business projects in the future. Jangl’s investors include Cardinal Venture Capital, Labrador Ventures and Storm Ventures, which together have invested $9 million. Jangl is headquartered in Pleasanton, CA.
Technically Speaking, I think the partnership between Jangle and Jajah was a very good strategic move on both companies part.
