New York, NY, Sept. 15, 2008 — TellMyCell, a leading provider of SMS and mobile content distribution services, played a key role in notifying citizens in Ike's wake via its SMS and IVR messaging platform. From Texas through Chicago, families received alerts via the one possession not left behind, their mobile phones.

TellMyCell's customer-base, made up of school boards, community organizations and local businesses helped spread the word through their own networks. In total, more than 5-million messages, both SMS and IVR recorded voice messages were sent over the platform during the five day period pre- and post- Ike's arrival.

According to TellMyCell CEO, Moe Green, the company has direct connections with the major mobile networks throughout the country and had no problem reaching their intended audience. "The fact is that people pay attention to text messaging and calls directly to their cell phones. While they might not tune into the weather, they are tuned into their mobile devices 24/7. We see this as an ideal medium for emergency messaging," he explained.

TellMyCell will allow any city, town or school to use our system FREE of charge for emergency messaging.
