SMSfun

Rating: SMS sexy message service? (Not funny)

Smsfun.com.au is an Australian based SMS mobile community. It launched in early 2006 and in 18 months has seen huge growth and expansion to New Zealand and now the UK.

Smsfun.co.uk was acquired this month.

I spoke to the boss of Smsfun.com.au Mark Ross-Smith and he said,
“We couldn’t halt the incredible rate at which new members were signing up and the sms costs were skyrocketting so we implemented a $2 joining fee and they kept coming! So now we offer much more value to the members since they pay a fee to become part of the community and the members have been embracing the whole concept with open arms.”

Smsfun.com.au has close to 100,000 members in Australia and sends out over 25,000 sms/day.

I am going to Australia in November and hope to meet up with Mark then and perhaps do a podcast and interview too.
