Regulus Communications has launched TXTnet, an interactive text messaging feature of the Young Author's Magazine Anthology program. TXTnet allows individuals, families, and m-commerce businesses to interact with mobile friends, family and customers via text messaging technologies, the fastest growing mobile technology of choice according to the PEW Internet and American Life Project.
TXTnet is a combination of web-based and mobile-based technologies allowing mobile users to interact with each other within a secure mobile environment. Users of the system need only internet access and the ability to text message. Each TXTnet network is secure with administrative features allowing access to the messaging center only by a pre-assigned username and password. Access by non-network member users is not permitted.
“Individuals can create a personal text messaging network of friends; families can create a text messaging network for the parents, kids, and extended family members; and, m-commerce businesses can create a complete customer service center based on text messaging technologies,” says Richard Austin, project director, Regulus Communications. “TXTnet will help create secure and controlled messaging networks that will greatly expand the mobile world of personal, family, and m-commerce communications - especially for m-payment.”
