Good news for our existing and future customers is that we are in the process of launching a new type of account dedicated for the USA. Admittedly, whilst our current cost of delivery to the USA is very low, our existing network coverage does not include two of the USA's largest network carriers. While this may not be an issue for some customers, it is for most. The reason why these carriers could not be included is due to incompatibility issues resulting from their use of CDMA & TDMA as opposed to GSM (which is what we use). However, we are now establishing direct connections to the US through which we will overcome this barrier. These new connections will enable to us to provide full coverage of all the Tier 1 carriers, which we will present as a new type of account. With the new account, sales will be made in US Dollars and, most excitingly, we will be providing two-way SMS through US-based short codes. We are just waiting on one or two network connections to be finalised and for our main website (www.tm4b.com) to be modified and then the new account will be publicised. |
