Jeffrine Kwong

Entry:

...I've just gotten back from Jakarta, Indonesia and I've been texting alot. Since my whole extended family and girlfriend lives in Indonesia,therefore I text alot alot. Imagine having 10 people you text daily to.Oi.. Recently, my cousin got pregnant(first in the family) so we have been conversing of baby stuff and her crazy cravings. My Aunt who is like a second mom to me texts me daily to see how I was doing and how everything is. THen there's my girlfriend, we text at least 10 times a day... Thank you for keeping in contact w/ my family w/o overly burning a whole in my pocket... With Ipipi i can almost double my texts than i would using my current phone plan.

Second Prize - 500 credits

Clements Ekpo

Entry:

My youngest brother was invloved in an accident and he sustained a c1/c2 cervical spinal cord injury, we tried for over 13 hours to reach my parent in Nigeria, with the bad communication Network system in that country, there was no luck, but finally we were able to reach my mom through IPIPI text messaging system. Bravo to all of you and please keep up the good job, I will never forget that dreadful day. This is how I use my text to reach a love one on a critical day and moment.

Third Prize - 100 credits

Al Gulamali

Entry:

I became aware of your text messaging service in mid summer. As the coach of a soccer team, I sometimes have the need to communicate with the players and their parents at short notice, for example when the weather changes suddenly (which is often here in Florida) and I am forced to cancel practice. It seems these days that all teenagers and their parents have individual cell phones, so the ability to send out a text message giving out important pieces of information at short notice is a valuable communication tool. Your product and service offers me this flexibility. I was even able to send an SMS to the coach of an opposing team giving him directions to our particular field, when he got lost ... Many thanks for devloping such a unique tool. I look forward to more product and service offerings from your company.

Honourable Mentions: (15 credits)

Picture Messaging (alpha) - Send to any mobile phone on the planet!

Imagine the ability to not only send a note of love to someone you care about but also have your face or a picture of your location included with that message! It's becoming a reality for iPiPi members with our newly introduced picture messaging feature (alpha phase). With a simple interface, users can send pictures to mobile phones through our site in the same way that they send text messages. It's easy to use and for an introductory time period this feature uses the same number of credits as a text message!
