EaT mY PhOnE Turns Mobile Phone Users Speechless

Jan. 22, 2002--There was a time when mobile phones were simply used for ... well, for talking on the phone. Fast forward a few years: mobile phones now come equipped with games, fax capabilities, even the ability to send text messages from one phone to the other (commonly known as SMS) and view pictures. Now EaT mY PhOnE (www.eatmyphone.com) has introduced the next step in mobile communications: online photo SMS service.

EaT mY PhOnE converts any picture into a phone-ready icon. EaTmYPhOnE.com members can upload photos, edit them online, and send them directly to any Nokia mobile phone that allows picture messaging. Members can also choose from thousands of images and graphics in the EaT mY PhOnE gallery. The service, already popular throughout Europe, is a new concept for mobile phone users in the U.S.

"EaT mY PhOnE operates independently of any software," said Dave Bamforth, the company's technical and business manager. "That's what makes it so appealing to users. The service is completely Web-based. Plus, a user can start with a photograph and end up with an image perfectly customized to her phone, without ever having to leave the site."

Along with photo messaging, EaTmYPhOnE.com uses a simple user interface to allow members to scan and send doodles, design and send logos, and send text with their photos and graphics. EaT mY PhOnE membership is free; the site's photo SMS service is $2.00 per photo uploaded, edited and sent via SMS. Members can forward pictures to their friends for free.
