Super tech breakthrough: Enterprise SMS platform - M2B

Aug 20, 2014 11:40PM PDT

Ready for something new, that's also cool?

There is a new breakthrough in SMS messaging, programmable 2-way text messaging from a mobile phone to a regular telephone landline. This tech has 60 brand-new patents and the solution is ready for early adopters, so before you think...been there, done that...let's start a Q&A to flesh out the unlimited potential of this solution.

Game?

starts to look like an ad campaign, it will be deleted. So I suggest you just mention an url for more information WITHOUT preceding http and that would be all.

Thanks, understood and agreed.

I am looking for honest, open minded discussion and feedback - appropriate for a discussion forum. Not a critique on the website please, but a dialogue on the merits of the solution.

Any feedback is welcome. Even R. Proffitt comments are welcome. Credibility is earned. Many of us have been burned by the promise of technology, and if lucky enough to have gone that far, the patent office! Wink

Sounds too close to what I've seen years ago.

This year . MesTextos for example did a similar texting portal. I continue to see folk promote such ideas as new, but given what I've seen at trade shows years ago, well, it's not new.

No new breakthrough.

As we used SMS so many years ago in a product, what you wrote about is nothing new. But for some that didn't know, they would trot it out as new, always ready for taking the unknowing for a ride. Hey, but we also know the patent system is broke. Claiming patents is not adding cred to me.

Hire texting
Aug 21, 2014 6:09AM PDT

If you could hire texting to do a job for you, what would it be?

A credible answer to this question - and an affirmative response with proof points...gives the answer to whether or not this technology breakthrough is new.

Even been to any Mobile Tech shows?

For mass texting, it was sold years ago by the carriers. Today's prices are pretty cheap.

Proof points? Is this some pyramid or sales scheme?
