Cari amici,
è con piacere che vi annuncio che Waymedia è stata candidata al concorso internazionale per l’innovazione nelle telecomunicazioni “MobileMonday Peer Awards 2008” di Barcellona.

In questa occasione, Waymedia presentarà YouPeople, il nuovo servizio che permette di inviare SMS gratuiti direttamente dal cellulare.

Brief summary

Waymedia’s youPeople is an innovative service, currently in beta test phase in a number of selected locations, which enables users to send free SMS directly from their mobile phone.

Messages are first composed on the user’s handset and then transferred via Bluetooth to the youPeople access point which is usually located in some social venue like a pub or a club. The access point then forwards messages to Waymedia’s gateway which takes care of SMS delivering.

There is absolutely no cost for both service users and owners of the venues, since the wireless communication technology used (Bluetooth) is completely free of charge, and since the SMS delivery costs are covered by advertising revenues.
