                    Hi! 
                   
                   Spring 
                    is on its way! Many of you are on Spring or Easter Breaks 
                    - the perfect time to sit back, catch up, and just have fun. 
                    Here in Vancouver, Canada, Spring came a little early and 
                    the sunshine is streaming through our windows as we speak. 
                   
                   It's 
                    been busy around the office - there are many new faces around 
                    and some exciting changes around the corner. Keep an eye on 
                    ipipi and you will see it getting better and better over the 
                    next couple of months.  
                   Aside 
                    from making our service as good as it can be, we're also offering 
                    a great Spring Break Special for you to keep you busy texting 
                    this Spring.  
                   Happy 
                    Easter!

                   Upside 
                    Wireless and ZYB sign licensing deal  
                   Upside 
                    Wireless, the parent of ipipi, has just finished signing 
                    a licensing deal with London-based ZYB.  
                   ZYB 
                    will be licensing the technology that makes ipipi go - it's 
                    Upside's flagship product, the Wireless Information 
                    Server (WIS for short). WIS is what enables ipipi 
                    to connect to every country on the Planet 
                    and provides the way for people to send SMS in a variety of 
                    ways (web, 
                    email, 
                    mobile). 
                   
                   What 
                    does ZYB get from licensing WIS? Well, it let's them go to 
                    market quickly, easily, and cost effectively. ipipi and ZYB 
                    together will be promoting SMS globally using the same leading 
                    SMS technology platform. Everyone here at Upside Wireless 
                    congratulates ZYB on their new business - we are looking forward 
                    to seeing all ZYB's new services and to our continued relationship. 
                   
                   You 
                    can read more about ZYB and this deal on 
                    our blog.  
                   A 
                    new way to get service updates  
                   Many 
                    of you have been reading the ipipi 
                    blog for news and opinions on SMS text messaging and industry 
                    insight, but did you also know it's the best place to get 
                    breaking news about service 
                    updates?  
                   Some 
                    of you may have noticed that on March 21st there were outages 
                    for some European networks (France, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium, 
                    Sweden and some of Austria). This meant that SMS were not 
                    getting to where they should go. As soon as we saw the problem, 
                    it went on our 
                    blog along with info on when service would resume and 
                    a note that messages were queued and not lost.  
                   Using 
                    the blog is the easiest 
                    and fastest way for us to let you know what is happening, 
                    no matter where we are - home or work. Letting you know if 
                    there is a problem is a big priority for 
                    us. We try to minimize any problems there could be by having 
                    the best network relationships we can, but sometimes things 
                    happen that we cannot control.  
                   If 
                    you are ever think there is a problem, go 
                    to our blog and check. All our service news will be on 
                    both the home page 
                    and the service 
                    updates page. Looking there first may give you the answer 
                    you are seeking. If not, check our help 
                    pages for questions on common problems or contact
