Cherple 1.5 enables to send free SMS to any U.S. cell phones
Bangalore: Six months after the release of an upgraded web application, Cherple remains in the front line of PC-to-Cell SMS market. Its version 1.5 offers a useful buddy list that remembers the last five phone numbers texted from the PC and is uncontested in the space. This version also features updated support for using Cherple on PC systems that are behind firewalls and proxy servers. Cherple 1.5, together with the original application, is in use in more than 150 countries to send two-way SMS messages to any U.S. mobile phone. "Globaltel Media created Cherple as a no-fee, no-subscription way to stay connected on-line, anywhere in the world with friends and family in the U.S. through SMS text messages. The expanded features are the most requested items from our growing Cherple user base," said Robert Sanchez, President and CEO of Globaltel Media, providers of Cherple. A free desktop download for PC or Mac, Cherple 1.5 connects any computer with Internet access worldwide to any U.S. mobile phone via back-and-forth SMS text messaging. There are few other services that provide true two-way SMS communication between the PC and a cell phone and those that do require registration and carrier identification prior to using their services. Cherple requires no registration and works across all carriers in the United States without the need for any pre identification. In year-and-a-half since its initial launch, Cherple has been downloaded or used from the Cherple website more than 50,000 times from 154 countries, all at no charge to the PC user. Cherple1.5 is available from the website as a free download and is also available as a code snippet that can be used to place a fully functional version of the application on a web page, blog or social media page.
