position in managing mobile transactions across the Globe
CTIA Wireless 2002, Orlando,
FL [Booth 4872] - March 18-20, 2002 - Mobilewayâ,
leader in managing mobile transactions across the globe,
is demonstrating an innovative and unrivalled approach to
navigating the future of mobile data at CTIA Wireless 2002
this week in Orlando, FL. Mobileway has a strong leadership
in the field of SMS technology with 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

With worldwide SMS traffic
and consumers' demands for richer content growing at an

business barriers that have so far impeded the widespread
roll out of enhanced data and services on the mobile phone.
Through winning revenue-sharing schemes and working closely
with carriers and content providers, Mobileway is powering
today's and tomorrow's mobile transactions to suit every
lifestyle - professional and personal.
Listed below is a synopsis
of various projects Mobileway's global team is currently
working on, many of which will be showcased at CTIA, featuring:
Adreact, Alcatel, Motorola, i4uu, Channel V, Celph, Ecrio,
Microsoft, Oracle, and Siemens.
PERSONAL SERVICES
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 advertisements
across billboards and radio stations 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.

of the two-way SMS messaging vital to the success of the
promotion. More information is available at Mobileway's

Alcatel - Interacting with gamers who 'know the score'
Alcatel, having recognized
the potential in interactive gaming to generate revenues
from a previously static function on the handset, turned
to Mobileway to assist in developing 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. Playing
upon mobile gamers' competitive spirits ensures that both
Alcatel and carriers generate revenues while adding value
to their consumer offer.
