CHERPLE CONNECTING PEOPLE IN 101 COUNTRIES VIA FREE PC-TO-CELL SMS.

Cherple, the free two-way text messaging application, is now in use in more than 100 countries with nearly 10 million users, only a few months since its Jan. 8, 2009, launch. Available from the English-language site, http://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 62 days.

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 ever 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.

While Cherple is designed for the consumer and has basic features, Globaltel Media offers business and enterprise solutions based upon the Cherple technology that include one-to-many-and-back texting, dubbed Web2WirelessNBackT, electronic content delivery (such as images, audio, video, and apps) via text, called Click2MobileT, mobile-initiated two-way texting, mobile couponing and more. This suite of applications also supplies brands and corporations with unrestricted access to message reporting and statistics. With the capability to send more than 10,000 messages per minute, these applications are critical for two-way emergency response systems.
