Boca Raton, FL (PRWEB) – 7/7/2008 – 3Cinteractive, a leading mobile marketing agency and application development company, announced it has completed a successful 9 month trial of the company’s patent pending Text Collect™ service. As a result, 3Ci is announcing an immediate full scale launch of the product. Text Collect combines Interactive Voice Response, SMS and Premium SMS (PSMS) mobile billing, producing the only service that allows collect calling and operator services providers to complete collect calls to mobile phones.
Prior to Text Collect™, the ability to complete collect calls to mobile phones has been a major challenge to the collect calling industry. With the number of mobile lines quickly outpacing the number of landlines in the U.S., the solution could not have come soon enough. Collect call completion ratios have been steadily declining for years due to the rapid growth in mobile phone usage. According to David Ellerstein, 3Cinteractive’s Text Collect™ General Manager, “Text Collect™ has driven significant positive results for collect calling providers and all of the major mobile carriers participating in the trial.”

3Cinteractive was the proud sponsor of the first ever Advertising Agency panel discussion during the Mobile Marketing Forum in New York City June 10 & 11 at the Marriott Marquis Times Square Hotel.
3Ci Business Development VP, Jeremy Martin, was the moderator of the panel that included advertising execs from agencies such as The Hyperfactory, Starcom USA and GroupM. “Being able to host the first ever agency focused panel discussion at the MMF was a great experience for myself and 3Ci as a company,” said Jeremy Martin. “Just by the types of attendees at this show, it was clear that now is the right time to have this ad agency panel. The number of advertising and media agencies here are clearly
at an all-time high, and that signifies the clear understanding of the agency world that they must have mobile solutions for their clients,” Martin added.
The panel discussion touched on topics such as how the business models that most mobile marketing companies use is far different than that of the traditional agency model. Most importantly, the majority of the discussion was focused on how to best integrate companies like 3Ci, who are specialists in mobile, into the agency process. The large crowd who stayed to hear the panel at the end of the last day of the show further displayed the agency world’s focus on mobile.

To better serve enterprise level communications needs, 3Ci has launched its beta version of a SMS based chat platform. The platform will be launched with two pre-selected beta clients and full product rollout is scheduled for the beginning of Q4 2008.
The chat platform was a response to market driven need for direct, one-on-one text based communication with consumers and employees. Customer service based call centers will have the ability to answer common questions for consumers through the ease and immediacy of SMS. This dramatically lowers the time and cost of providing traditional telephone based service for similar inquiries. Additionally, large, enterprise level businesses can more easily communicate in real-time with employees on a one-to-many or one-to-one level without having their message get caught up in easily ignored email inboxes.

3Cinteractive would like to congratulate Jason Taylor for his performance on ABC’s Dancing With the Stars. Jason, who is known for battering opposing offenses as a defensive end for the Miami Dolphins, was a finalist this season on the hit show, and finished second overall in the dance contest.
To help support Jason and his success on the show, 3Ci and The Jason Taylor Foundation teamed up to “mobilize” Jason’s fans across the nation. Fans were asked to text the keyword JT to short code 34343. This gave Jason the chance to keep in touch with his fans and keep them up to date on his dance preparations.
Jason was also able to send reminders for fans to watch the show and to vote. “We had a great response to our text campaign, said Seth Levit, Executive Director of the Jason Taylor Foundation. “There is no question that text messaging is a direct, personal way to reach Jason’s fans and foundation supporters.”
