Ringfo.com announces new mobile search solution

Ringfo.com, an innovator in mobile consumer search tools, has today announced the availability of its signature service, Ringfo for mobile phones.

Ringfo allows any user with a mobile phone to find product information, prices, and user reviews as they browse products in stores.

Users simply call the toll-free Ringfo number — 866-835-5637 (US only) — and enter in the barcode number found on millions of products. From books to televisions to raisins, Ringfo will search its database for the requested item, and read back information to the user to help her make a buying decision. Ringfo uses the amazon.com web services platform to find the new and list price, as well as the lowest used price from one of amazon's thousands of affiliate merchants. Often users can save over 50% by using Ringfo to check the prices first.


Once a Ringfo user returns to their desk, a visit to http://ringfo.com yields a list of all the items that user searched for previously, with links to read more about the product or make a purchase. Many users find this feature invaluable as a 'mobile bookmark' , to remind them of items of interest that they found earlier.


Todd Pinkerton, founder of Ringfo stated: "Our users are finding more and more creative uses for the Ringfo service. Some are trying to decide whether to make that impulse purchase in the store, or if it's worth it to wait and have it delivered to their home; others are using the used price feature to find rare items to sell on ebay. As people come to expect the power of the internet whenever they make purchases or research products, the Ringfo service provides a natural way to bring that information into the real world."
