New Windsor, N.Y. (April 26, 2011) – Frugaldoo is one step closer to revolutionizing shopping in the Hudson Valley with its location-based mobile coupon service. Frugaldoo is pleased to announce it has received the necessary SMS short code approvals from the nation’s top mobile providers, and has begun signing local merchants and service providers to be among the first to utilize this revolutionary new marketing tool.
A client of the Orange County Business Accelerator, Frugaldoo has now received approval of its short code 378425 (FRUGAL) from AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, T-Mobile and Tier 3 carriers including Virgin Mobile, Nextel, Boost, US Cellular, Cricket, Cellular South, Interop Centennial Cellular Corp., Cellcom, nTelos, Cincinnati Bell, and AllTel Wireless.
Frugaldoo President, Patrick Carr explained, “With these approvals in place, we are ready to launch Frugaldoo in the Hudson Valley. Short codes are special, short telephone numbers designed to be easier to read and remember than typical phone numbers, and are used to address SMS text messages for a variety of mobile services. In the U.S. all service providers wishing to use a short code must secure approval from each mobile carrier in order to protect consumers from unwanted spam, so receiving these approvals gives us the green light to go live.”
