Globaltel Media Introduces Mobile Cherple for iPhones, iPods and iPads Driving Social Networking With SMS Texting

Mobile Cherple App Now Available in Apple App Store Enables New Social Media Reach to Over 5 Billion Devices

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- (CES Conference, Booth #35639) -- Globaltel Media today announced the latest innovation in social media solutions with Mobile Cherple®, a free-use, SMS (Short Message Service) two-way text application for Internet-enabled Apple® iPhones, iPods and iPads with the capability to reach over 5 billion mobile phones globally and promote communications, content sharing and expanding relationships around the world.

The patent-pending Cherple® technology is now available in the Apple iTunes® Store, and features an easy-to-use Web-based interface and the ability to send a text message from Internet-enabled iPhones, iPods or iPads and back to any US cell phone today, making it the ideal platform to have a real-time, two-way chat to all mobile phones using standard SMS text technologies.  No application is required to download on the receiving mobile phone.

Key Facts:

    --  Nearly 25 million double opted-in mobile numbers currently in Globaltel
        Media system
    --  Over 6 million active users on Cherple today in over 160 countries
    --  Cherple was designed to be white-labeled, customized and "reskinned" to
        fit any organization's or group's specific branding needs
    --  Web-based widget feature allows businesses and individuals to assign a
        specific mobile number to a widget on a Web page, enabling direct text
        messaging communication for sales, customer service, scheduling and more

Mobile Cherple Enables Users to:

    --  Mobile Cherple® can be downloaded for free from Apple iTunes Store to
        any iPhone with 3G, iPod with WiFi and iPad with WiFi or 3G capabilities
    --  Reach every mobile phone privately and securely in the US via standard
        SMS text messaging without the receiving mobile having the Internet or a
        data plan. Cherple requires permission from the mobile user before a
        chat starts and is designed to be spam-free
    --  Stay in touch while traveling abroad, without breaking the bank on
        international SMS text charges - Mobile Cherple enables users to bypass
        expensive country-to-country SMS text messaging fees

        or use. With more than 6 million active users across six continents, and
        new advanced functionality, Cherple will continue to make it easy for
        families and friends to economically and conveniently stay in touch on
        any Internet-connected Apple wireless device, anytime and anywhere and
        to any US cellular phone, even across international borders, time zones
        and oceans."
    --  Ross Fledderjohn, developer of Mobile Cherple, said: "It is exciting to
        be involved in the development of Mobile Cherple. Social networking
        sites provide great opportunities for communication, networking and
        reaching contacts with relevant and personal information. The ability to
        reach more than 5 billion cellular phones globally with the Mobile
        Cherple App exponentially increases the potential for both individuals
