TeleFlip Offers New, Easier Ways to Connect With Friends and Loved Ones This Holiday Season

Posted on: Monday, 20 November 2006, 12:00 CST

The holiday season, which kicks off this week with Thanksgiving Day celebrations across America, has always been a time for friends, family members, and loved ones to connect. While we all hope for valuable, in-person time together -- to share a meal and special memories -- often geographical distance, financial woes, and even the effect of military service in a far away country can make that impossible. Thanks to a hot new messaging service called TeleFlip (www.teleflip.com), it's free and easy for anyone with a personal computer to reach and communicate with virtually any cellular phone user in the U.S. and Canada -- even when travel and distance keep them physically apart.

TeleFlip, which is here just in time for the holiday season, is revolutionizing the way that consumers utilize PC to cell phone messaging to keep in touch. The company has developed a patent-pending service that enables anyone to quickly and easily send emails to any mobile phone -- from any personal computer -- for FREE. The sender simply addresses emails to the recipient's mobile phone number at the TeleFlip domain (e.g., 2125555555@teleflip.com), and TeleFlip does the rest. The founders of TeleFlip believe that all of America will be "teleflipping" before long and using this new tool to stay in close contact with the special people in their lives with a simplicity and affordability never before possible.

"People on the go are always looking for a better, more simplified way to connect with those important in their life and keep critical bonds alive, even when challenging circumstances don't permit a live get-together," explained Tony Davis, TeleFlip's President and CEO. "TeleFlip is about to streamline personal communication to make this a reality like never before. With this new technology, if you know how to email, you know how to TeleFlip -- it's really that easy."

TeleFlip's technology eliminates the complexities associated with connecting emails to a particular cell phone's text messaging system. In addition, TeleFlip's innovative service requires no special software and is compatible with every email program (Outlook, AOL, etc.) and every Web based email service (Hotmail, Yahoo mail, Gmail, etc.). The company expects the concept to begin changing the way that families and individuals communicate almost immediately.

During this holiday season and upcoming Thanksgiving Day celebration, the TeleFlip service might be most beneficial of all to families who are separated for various circumstances -- especially to college students away from home for the first time, family members who may be traveling and less reachable, and men and women in the military service around the world who have limited communications options. To help bridge the communications gap over the holidays, the company will be offering complimentary TeleFlip's to those on the road who will be unable to share in-person time with loved ones.
