<p>Burger King is trialling mobile commerce by allowing customer to order and pay with their <a class="ext-link" title="Visit the iPhone web site - Opens in a new window" href="http://www.apple.com/iphone/?cid=OAS-US-DOMAINS-iphone.com" target="_blank">iPhone</a>. Burger King joined with <a class="ext-link" title="Visit Gomobo web site - Opens in a new window" href="http://gomobo.com/" target="_blank">Gomobo</a> and <a class="ext-link" title="Visit PointAbout web site - Opens in a new window" href="http://www.pointabout.com/home/" target="_blank">PointAbout</a> for the development and design phase of the application. <a class="ext-link" title="Visit Burger King Now - Opens in a new window" href="http://www.burgerkingnow.com" target="_blank">Burger King NOW</a> location-aware iPhones are being tested in the Queens, New York, area.<span id="more-89"></span>&#8220;The idea of the iPhone app is to go the full nine yards with a rich mobile ordering platform,&#8221; commented Noah N. Glass, founder CEO of Gomobo, New York. &#8220;This is the first case study that we have done with an iPhone application and we expect to launch this type of application for other quick-serve restaurants we are working with.&#8221;</p>
<p>The GPS functionality of the iPhone allows users to bypass the step of entering an address in to the application. it achieves this by automatically finding the Burger King location closest to user.</p>
<p>Customers save valuable time when placing their order and in particular when they pick it up. They can bypass the queue and just take their food because they have already paid for it using the application on their iPhone.</p>
<p>The application tracks and saves the users order history and also acts as a loyalty card offering by giving the user special deals and incentives.</p>

<div class="typography">Waiting in the wind has become a thing of the past for Wellington bus users.Greater Wellington Regional Council has introduced an innovative text messaging service called txtBUS, allowing bus users to use texts to find out when the next bus is scheduled to arrive.</div>
<p>The potential is obvious. Commuters save time and money with the txtBUS service, especially those who do not have a timetable at their bus stop. Based on existing timetables, the text service advises users to arrive several minutes earlier so that there is no chance of missing the bus.<span id="more-9"></span></p>
<h2>txtBUS works for you:</h2>
<ol>
<li>Users text &#8216;bus&#8217; on their mobiles.</li>
<li>Send the four digit bus stop number.</li>
</ol>
<p>txtBUS can also supply the following three services for your route, which is particularly useful for stops used by other buses. It&#8217;s easy! You simply send the four digit bus stop number with a space or a comma and then the route and you&#8217;re in business.</p>
<p>A confirmation of the location of your bus stop and the approximate times of the next three buses due arrives within seconds. The system will not inform users if a service is running early or late.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>CellTrust FlightAssist improves passenger flow while reducing environmental impact through free MobileFlight monitoring at SFO San Francisco International Airport. SFO text service provides real-time flight arrival information for mobile users.</h4>
<p><strong>San Francisco Calif., and Scottsdale, Arizona &#8211; November 26, 2008</strong> &#8211; CellTrust Corporation (www.celltrust.com), a leading provider of secure mobile messaging and applications, announced today that it has launched its FlightAssist™ real-time flight monitoring solution at San Francisco International Airport (SFO), delivering a free service that will provide information on flight arrival times and other information to passengers and those traveling to the airport to pick up travelers. With CellTrust’s FlightAssist service, passengers can notify a circle of friends in real-time through text messages on a cell phone if there is a flight delay or cancellation at SFO. CellTrust’s FlightAssist is also the first mobile text flight monitoring service in North America to offer a convenient flight carbon offsetting option through its partnership with Carbonfund.org.</p>
<p>“I applaud CellTrust and San Francisco International for their joint initiative and early adoption of this very sensible approach to reduce emissions while making travel more efficient,” said Eric Carlson, Executive Director of Carbonfund.org. “Using the mobile phone to relay flight information and help manage automobile congestion and resulting emissions in and around SFO serves as an excellent method for airports around the globe.”<span id="more-945"></span></p>
<p>Real-time mobile flight monitoring and airport information management is expected to significantly streamline the passenger flow to and from the airport. Flight delays, cancellations, gate changes and flight arrivals are communicated within seconds to the recipient’s mobile phone. Those picking up passengers will receive notification should there be a change while the passenger is still on board the airplane. FlightAssist helps everyone remain one step ahead and takes the guess work, stress and endless waiting out of flying and picking up at the airport.</p>
<p>“CellTrust is pleased to partner with an award-winning airport like San Francisco International to tackle traffic emissions on the ground through mobile flight information management,” said Sean Moshir, founder and CEO of CellTrust. “FlightAssist provides a great option for passengers; those involved in with a flight logistically; for the environment; and for the airport itself in terms of cost reduction and stakeholder satisfaction. The bottom line is: if you take care of the planet &#8211; the planet will take care of you.”</p>
<h3>Benefits for the Passenger</h3>
<ul>
<li>Passengers and those picking or dropping off can select the flight on www.flysfo.com</li>
<li>Text messages are sent to the user’s phone if there is a flight delay, cancellation, and when the flight arrives at SFO</li>
<li>Optionally, the same information can be sent to up to four other phone numbers to keep them updated about a particular flight</li>
<li>Setting up the mobile text flight alert service can be done 72 hours ahead</li>
<li>Those picking up will get arrival details by text while passengers are still in the air</li>
<li>Opportunity for carbon offsetting of flights via the mobile phone through www.carbonfund.org</li>
</ul>
<h3>Benefits for the Airport</h3>

<li>Improved passenger flow</li>
<li>Faster, safer airport thoroughfares for pedestrians and vehicles</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>Harlem Success Academy Selects CellTrust Corporation’s Advanced SMS Gateway as Technology Foundation for Mobile Messaging Program.</h4>
<p><strong>Scottsdale, Arizona . — January 16, 2008 </strong>— CellTrust Corporation (www.celltrust.com) today announced that its world-class SMS Gateway in use by year-old New York charter school Harlem Success Academy (<a title="Visit www.harlemsuccess.org - Opens in a new window" href="http://www.harlemsuccess.org/" target="_blank">www.harlemsuccess.org</a>) has returned definitive and positive mobile marketing metrics. Harlem Success Academy reports close to 100 percent parental involvement during its inaugural 2006-2007 school year and attributes much of this high level of success to its SMS solution from CellTrust. Harlem Success Academy now educates 280 kindergarten through second grade students and will open 40 more schools serving high need communities in New York City over the next decade.</p>
<p>Harlem Success Academy’s parental involvement metric was largely achieved through regular and timely text messages sent via CellTrust’s advanced and secure SMS Gateway. The text messages concerned upcoming events and family academic venues, administrative procedures, attendance, recruitment, and grades/homework assignments, to name a few.</p>
<p>“One of the key factors in choosing a mobile solutions provider was ease of use,” said Harlem Success Academy’s Director of External Affairs Jenny Sedlis. “We needed to create messages and alerts on a moment’s notice, send them to our parent community, and know they got there.”</p>
<p>Harlem Success Academy chose an SMS solution from CellTrust because it was easy to implement and cost-effective. Many of the students’ parents don’t have access to the Internet and can’t respond to email or access the school’s website from home. Moreover, many of the students’ parents work fulltime, thus the cell phone was selected as the school’s communication method of choice.<span id="more-946"></span></p>
<p>According to a recent Network World blog posting, more than 3.3 billion mobile accounts (one for every two earthlings) exist today, making Harlem Success Academy’s mobile communications program realistic and timely.</p>
<p>“The return on investment this past year has been two-fold,” explains Sedlis. “First and foremost, we achieved a very high level of parent engagement in students’ academic success. Second, the mobile messaging program helped us to become a much more efficient operation. As a school in Harlem, we quite honestly have limited resources. It was critical for us to make the most of our communications methods.”</p>
<p>CellTrust CEO Sean Moshir adds, “We are proud to be selected by Harlem Success Academy as their mobile provider of choice. Being able to take part in a child’s academic success by providing the mobile foundation makes what we do at CellTrust that much more meaningful.”</p>
<p>The <a title="CellTrust SMS Gateway" href="/web/guest/celltrust-2way-sms-gateway" target="_blank">CellTrust SMS Gateway</a> is functionality packed with additional modules and features to assist all types of businesses and organizations interested in building mobile marketing and messaging campaigns. For example, the CellTrust SMS Gateway Scheduling Module provides the ability to send any message desired with a pre-defined date to one group or groups of recipients. A scheduled message or marketing message can be sent out at different time intervals to individuals or groups via SMS, email and/or voice.</p>
<p>In support of the idea that mobile phones can improve community involvement on all levels, CellTrust donated its SMS solution to Harlem Success Academy for year 2008. CellTrust actively seeks other interested schools and non-profits that could benefit from a similar program.</p>
