BEAMME.INFO: ITS WHAT YOU'VE BEAM WAITING FOR

What is BeamMe.Info?

BeamMe.Info allows website publishers to enhance their user experience with a 'Send to Mobile' button that sends any website content they specify to any mobile via SMS.

What is a Beam?

A Beam is essentially a relevant piece of website information that has our code installed so it can be sent to a mobile phone. The BeamMe.Info service takes care of all the backend work of making sure it gets to the right phone in the right format. All that you see on a website is a small blue button next to the relevant piece of content. When clicked a box appears allowing the user to enter their mobile number.

The primary focus of BeamMe.Info is to give Internet users the convenience of being able to send useful information from the web directly to their mobile phones. They want the process for users to be free and so simple that it will become part of their everyday workflows on the Internet.

Why put Beams on a Website?

By putting Beams on a website publishers are adding value to their content or service. Allowing visitors to mobilise their website content, saves them the hassle of printing things out or writing them down. This extends the interaction lifecycle long after the visitor has left the website. There are obvious environmental benefits as well.

SMS messages can also have live links to mobile websites so publishers can use BEams to drive traffic directly to mobile destinations to eliminate the need for fiddly browsing for the user..

BeamMe.Info is available in 180 countries, they have deals with all the major carriers that allows us to send information to just about any SMS enabled phone in the world.

The technology allows anybody to add this functionality to their website without the use of expensive applications or working out agreements with SMS aggregators. They just take the code and plug it into theri site. All of the billing and reporting takes place on the BeamMe.Info website.
