Cherple(R) 1.5 Leading the Pack With Free SMS Texting From the Internet to Any U.S. Cell Phone

SAN DIEGO, May 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Six months after the release of an upgraded web application, Cherple® remains the front runner in the PC-to-Cell SMS market. Its version 1.5 offers a useful buddy list that remembers the last five phone numbers texted from the PC and is uncontested in the space. This version also features updated support for using Cherple® on PC systems that are behind firewalls and proxy servers. Cherple® 1.5, together with the original application, is in use in more than 150 countries to send two-way SMS messages to any U.S. mobile phone.

"Globaltel Media created Cherple® as a no-fee, no-subscription way to stay connected on-line, anywhere in the world with friends and family in the U.S. through SMS text messages," said Robert Sanchez, president and CEO of Globaltel Media, providers of Cherple®. "The expanded features are the most requested items from our growing Cherple® user base. Cherple® 1.5 is a hybrid of SMS and Instant Message technologies and it will allow people to connect and communicate in a way never before seen."

A free desktop download for either PC or Mac, Cherple® 1.5 connects any computer with Internet access worldwide to any U.S. mobile phone via back-and-forth SMS text messaging. There are few other services that provide true two-way SMS communication between the PC and a cell phone and those that do require registration and carrier identification prior to using their services. Cherple® requires no registration and works across all carriers in the United States without the need for any preidentification.

In year-and-a-half since its initial launch, Cherple® has been downloaded or used from the Cherple® website www.cherple.com more than 50,000 times from 154 countries, all at no charge to the PC user.

Cherple® 1.5 is available from www.cherple.com as a free download and as a code snippet that can be used to place the application on a web page, blog or social media page.
