Canada has emerged as a top user of Globaltel Media's PC-to-Cell SMS chat application Cherple, according to Robert Sanchez, president and CEO of Globaltel Media.
According to Sanchez, Canada went from statistical obscurity straight to the No. 2 slot for most Cherple users and has remained the second usage country among all nations for the last three months. Since its January U.S. launch, Cherple has won nearly 10 million users with its no-fee and no-subscription service that allows people to send SMS text messages from any Internet-connected PC to any U.S. mobile cellular device and receive messages back from the mobile to the PC.
Paid for through banner advertising and licensing, Cherple's two-way SMS texting makes it the ideal platform to have a real time, two-way chat across any distance, without the need for a special wireless data plan, smart phone or registration. Standard text messaging rates apply to the U.S. cell phone receiving and replying to any Cherple message, but there is no cost to the on-line user.
"In the month following its launch, Cherple was being used in more than 60 countries to connect to U.S. cell phones," Sanchez noted. "Now that number has grown to 146 countries and it is in use on every continent except Antarctica."
More than 83 percent of Cherple users come from North America, with Canada being the second largest market, right after the United States. Since its launch in early 2009, the number of Canadian users has increased seven-fold. This growth has made North America a leading user of Cherple.
