www.netomat.net - First Free Service to Provide Mobile Picture Messaging For a Fraction of the Cost of MMS
1 x Picture ~ 10 x Friends ~ 10p Total
London - February 27, 2006 - We've now got the camera phones and we all know how to use them. Yet the fact that it is so time-consuming and costs so much to send just one picture to a group of family and friends can often make us reluctant to take full advantage of the great new camera technologies at our disposal.
Thanks to a new free service from netomat, Inc., pioneers in enabling seamless messaging across mobile phones and PCs, that is all set to change.
Newly-launched netomat hub is a free service that allows people to easily create, get and share pictures and text with anyone, anywhere, anytime - on their mobile phones or PC's - and is a great way to stay connected without breaking the bank.
netomat members can create their own personal hubs - for free - and devote these to any particular topic they choose such as football, special family moments, gigs, film reviews, Friday night partying, student reminiscing, etc. Members can then invite as many friends, family and friends of friends as they like to their hubs to share text, pictures and RSS newsfeeds instantly, in real time from either their mobile phone or their PC. Group members can, in turn post their comments and pictures for all members of the hub.
Because netomat hub operates via the mobile phone's Internet connection, users can send picture messages from their mobile phones to all the people in a hub, all in one go, and all for the small price of Internet data usage from their service providers. Since members' data usage costs will stay exactly the same regardless of whether they send a picture message to one, two, ten or twenty people within their hub, it is a great deal cheaper as well as easier to send out picture messages via netomat hub rather than using MMS.
To currently send an average 30KB picture message and text to one friend on Orange MMS, for example, costs 25p. To send it to 5 x friends on Orange MMS would cost $1.25 and to send it to 10 x friends would cost $2.50. Sending the same size picture & text message via netomat hub (based on Orange pay-as-you-use GPRS access at a price of 3 per MB for 0-3 MB) would cost less than 10p regardless of whether you sent it to one, five, ten or even more people within your hub.
The cost benefits of picture messaging via netomat hub are obvious, but because messages can be sent and received, in real time, on either a PC or mobile phone and because we can always 'see' who is actually online at any time, netomat hub really is a great way to stay connected to the people we want to.
Whether it's phone to phone, phone to PC, PC to phone or PC to PC, by logging on to netomat hub you can now always be sure that your messages get to the people you choose in an instant and that it won't cost the earth to get them there.
