While I was in Tel Aviv earlier this week, I had a chance to meet with dozens of interesting companies that are innovating in the global telecommunications space.
One of them, TeleMessage, has already been successful in introducing their capabilities into Canada’s major mobile networks.
I’m not sure how well the service is promoted [see Rogers website, TELUS website, Bell website]. Pricing varies, ranging from a 15 cents per message premium at Rogers to being treated as a standard text message by Bell [Ask your service provider for details].
It seems to me to that this is a service that can have a lot of value when you need to get a message out, but just can’t make a call, whether it is a kid trying to be discreet getting word out to parents at home, or business people sending a message to the home office. And the price beats typical Canadian mobile long distance rates.
How can service providers do a better job at promoting all of the capabilities of their networks?
That is just one of the issues we’ll be discussing at The 2009 Canadian Telecom Summit.
We are working to provide a showcase for international telecom innovation at The 2009 Canadian Telecom Summit in June.
