SMS 2.0

Mobile users would soon be able to send coloured messages and fun emotions from their mobile phones at no additional cost. UK-based mobile solutions maker Affle is coming to India with next generation messaging application SMS 2.0

The application also allows users to schedule SMSes, send SMS to e-mail, send graphic and multimedia attachments, access Internet and get updates on discounts and promotions from advertisers. The default content stays at the bottom portion of the screen and converts to full screen when either the message is sent or the consumer clicks on the content.

Bharti has been running this service on pilot basis since June 1. Initially, the service will be available only on some GPRS-enabled Nokia phones.
