/24-7PressRelease/ - October 27, 2006 - Free Rider Web Hosting has announced a new enhancement to its Web-based email product—short message service (SMS) integration, also called text-messaging service. The new feature lets subscribers to Free Rider Web Hosting's Web-based email instantly send text messages, as well as standard email.
With the texting feature in Free Rider Web Hosting's Webmail, employers can send messages to employees who are out on the road. Sports fans can catch the latest scores and chide their friends who are at the game. All of this is done from the customer's desktop, which means no clumsy thumbing in messages on the customer's cell phone.
The service is easy to use. Free Rider Web Hosting customers can access their Web-based email accounts as they always have, but now a drop-down menu gives an option to select email only, text message only or both. A simple cell phone field in the user's address book drives the feature. In addition, Free Rider Web Hosting includes a function that allows users to keep within the 160 character limit required by cell phone carriers for text messages.
"Free Rider Web Hosting sees this as an exciting new feature that will make life easier for customers. People who can send an email but who haven't yet mastered their cell phones will still be able to keep in touch with friends and colleagues who are out and about," said Simon Drain of Free Rider Web Hosting.
