US-Based Cherple Connecting People in More Than 125 Countries Through Free PC-to-Cell SMS Text Messaging

Cherple™, the free two-way text messaging application, is now in use in 126 countries with nearly 10 million users as of April 17 — only 100 days since its Jan. 8, 2009, launch. Available from the English-language site, www.cherple.com, Cherple™ connects any online computer in the world to any U.S. mobile phone via SMS.

Of the approximate 10 million users of Cherple™, the vast majority come from the United States, followed by India, Canada, Brazil and the Philippines, with the United Kingdom and China barely missing the top five. With users in every continent except Antarctica, Cherple has become a worldwide phenomenon in less than four months.

The Cherple™ patent-pending technology features an easy-to-use interface and the ability to send a text message to — and then from — any U.S. cell phone, making it the ideal platform to have a real time, two-way chat across any distance, without the need for a special wireless data plan, smart phone or registration. Standard text messaging rates apply to the U.S. cell phone user, but there is no cost to the on-line user who initiates and maintains the conversation.

“With the world’s population having sent more than three trillion text messages last year, the Cherple™ app offers an easy-to-use and easy-to-access SMS solution for the our more global society,” explained Robert Sanchez, Globaltel Media president and CEO. “Cherple™ allows families and friends to stay connected anytime and anywhere even across international borders, time zones and oceans.”

The application can be run directly from www.cherple.com or downloaded for free and used as a desktop application for Microsoft Windows and Macintosh computers.

Cherple™, powered by Globaltel Media, follows the Mobile Marketing Association’s permission-based guidelines and is opt-in/opt-out compliant. Use of Cherple™ is paid for through banner advertising and white-label licensing. For more on Globaltel Media, Inc., visit www.globaltelmedia.com.
