Feb 19, 2007 : Freeparking Offers SMS Alert Service

📅 February 19, 2007 - Domain name parking and management provider Freeparking (freeparking.co.uk -> fasthosts.co.uk) announced on Friday it has introduced a new SMS alert service which notifies users of important email via mobile text messages. Clients registering their domain name with the ICANN accredited registrar will receive an automatic SMS notification when desired email hits the Freeparking mail server.  
"Despite being away from their desks, our clients still want to be able to manage their business and that means being told when a new order has arrived or that a client has an urgent query," says Dickie Armour, GM of Fibranet Services, Freeparking's European partner. "The Freeparking SMS Alert service makes this possible and means users no longer need to find a wi-fi spot or pay expensive cybercafé access rates to wade through junk mail." Customers can specify which email senders, subject keywords and email message keywords are scanned and then submitted as a text alert. When an email matching the alert profile is received, a message is then sent to the specified mobile phone number. Users have full control of text message content and can specify exactly what information is included in the message.

Freeparking SMS alerts are priced at 10p each and offer many additional features. Along with an unlimited number of SMS alert profiles, each profile includes free setup and is activated instantly.
