Mobileway demonstrates its leading position in managing
mobile transactions
Stand B1, Hall 1 - SilverCoast
Boat, Albert Edouard Quay, Cannes Harbour
Mobileway®, the leader
in managing mobile transactions across the globe, showcased
today at the 3GSM Congress in Cannes, its new image and
fresh approach to navigating the future of mobile data.
Enjoying a strong leadership in the field of SMS technology
with far and away the most extensive global reach for message
transportation, Mobileway currently holds bilateral commercial
agreements with 88 of the World's leading mobile network
operators ensuring direct access to more than 90% of the
World's mobile users.
With worldwide SMS traffic
growing at an explosive rate daily, and consumers' demands
for richer content mirroring this growth, the need to break
down the business barriers which have so far impeded the
widespread roll out of enhanced data and services on the
mobile phone is imperative. Through championing revenue-sharing
schemes and working hand in glove with carrier and content
alike, Mobileway is powering the today and tomorrow of mobile
transactions to suit every lifestyle, professional and personal.
Mobileway reveals its charted
course at the 3GSM Congress and listed below is a snapshot
of some of the projects its global team is currently working
on:

Adreact - Mobile marketing
in a permissible way
Adreact, a mobile marketing and advertising solutions leader,
worked with Mobileway on a successful SMS-based promotion
campaign for leading coffee and doughnut retailer, Dunkin'
Donuts. This campaign based in Rome, Italy, featured a series
of adverts across bill boards and radio inviting doughnut
lovers to send an SMS to receive free gift coupons or special
offers exchangeable at local Dunkin' Donuts outlets. Sales
of Dunkin' Donuts in Italy rose by 9% within the first three
weeks of the campaign.
Mobileway managed the delivery
of the two-way SMS messaging vital to the success of the
promotion.

gaming to generate revenues from a previously static function

a way to make popular games such as 'killer expo' interactive.
The High Score project allows users to pit their wits against
common platform games such as 'killer expo' before being
able to submit their high score via SMS to the global scoreboard.

that Alcatel and carriers alike generate revenues whilst
adding value to their consumer offer.
