New set-up process: iPiPi.com text messaging just got easier
After listening to your feedback, we're glad to announce a new
and improved set-up process for registering cell phones in your iPiPi.com
account. If you want your friends and family to send you SMS messages whenever
they please, this is the feature for you.
Our new set-up process is
simple and easy. Just enter the phone number of each mobile phone you'd like to
register. The iPiPi.com system will then send each phone a message with
instructions on how to confirm the devices.
This new process reduces the
original set-up time for everyone involved. No more phoning your friends to get
the confirmation code. AND, no more need to add any comments to messages.

Did you know that feedback from our customers drives over 80% of
iPiPi.com developments? Send us your feedback on this new
set-up system, or any other iPiPi.com issue. We're always listening.

Let us know if we
can help your
business
Enable your Application in 60 minutes or
less
Last month we launched what turned out to be a
revolutionary service. Using our "60-minute-API" any business process can
be SMS enabled in about one hour. We had no idea how this interface
will be used. Here are some of the real-world examples:
- Let a customer
know when her order shipped
- Automatically
remind patients of their appointments
- Tell sales
people when important customers call
- Tell parents when
kids are not in school
- Enable real-time
bank balances to be queried.. and many more.
What is
revolutionary is that you do not need to hire a small army of
consultants and spend days (or months) arranging agreements with various phone
companies. You simply let us know and we'll
get you up and running ... in about 60 minutes. So why wait. If you got a
business problem to solve using SMS, we got a solution for you.
SMS in the "real" world
While many of us use SMS to
stay connected with our loved ones, many businesses also use iPiPi.com to
communicate with staff and to keep time-sensitive operations running smoothly.
How could SMS help a business, you ask? Here's how one international company
uses iPiPi.com:
"Basically we use iPiPi.com to facilitate:
1.
email-to-sms event notification to appropriate regional IT support
personnel located in Singapore, Taiwan & Hong Kong (for the moment). The
emails are usually triggered by network & systems monitoring stations used
to manage mission-critical applications and infrastructure.
2.
email-to-sms status notifications to appropriate regional BIZ & IT
managers.
There is a heck of a lot riding on 1 & 2 (and esp. 1)
being received by the intended recipient almost instantaneously in order to
minimize the biz impact of any outage."
For more information about
these services, or if you have a corporate testimonial about how your business
uses iPiPi.com, contact
us.
