3Cinteractive is proud to announce the availability of a revolutionary mobile marketing service. We are now offering our TextCard service to current and new users. What makes TextCard unique is its ability to allow users to send text messages via postcard. TextCard can be used globally on any network: EDGE, 3G, PCS, GSM, CDMA, YMCA, anywhere at anytime. Our TextCard service only costs $0.27 in the United States. Just imagine, only $0.27 to send a text message via postcard to anyone in the 50 states (international postcards may cost more; check with your post office for further details).

Example 1: TextCard in action

How does this work? It’s simple. Just send a postcard to your friend or family member and he or she will take the card to their local office supply store to be scanned. The office supply retailer will then convert the scanned postcard into text and then email the message to your friend’s online email account (personal or business will do). Once that step is complete, all your friend needs to do is to forward that email to their mobile device and then HEY PRESTO! They receive your text.

Not only can you reach out and text someone by postcard anywhere in the world with our TextCard service, you can also reach out across time. Have a text you want to send from over 100 years ago? It’s no problem with TextCard. Just mail, scan, upload, email, and you’re texting!

Example 2: TextCard breaking the laws of relativity

(International rates differ depending on the country you are posting to. Charges for scanning and converting also apply. Additional fees for gas, connectivity, and the receiving incoming emails on your mobile device may also apply. Your mileage may vary. Void where prohibited. Ability to time travel not guaranteed. If you believe this, we also have a lovely bridge in New York we’d like to sell you.)
