14 More Push-to-Talk Markets for Sprint? Palringo Chats in All US Markets with Voice, Text, and Image

NEW YORK–(EMWNews)–As Sprint announces the launch of its QChat push-to-talk service in

another 14 U.S. markets, another company has quietly –

and freely – been providing a similar service

that is available across the U.S.

With offices in New York and London, Palringo

offers “vocal instant messaging”

or push-to-talk that – unlike Sprint’s

QChat – works across most mobile platforms

and is independent of network operators. What’s

more, Palringo’s walkie-talkie style chat is

part of a broader, richer messaging offer: It shares text and photos as

well as voice. It works anywhere there is a data network and across the

popular IM services such as AOL’s AIM, Windows

Live Messenger, Yahoo Messenger and Google Talk, through one simple,

unified interface. It works on all smartphones, Pocket PC, PC, Mac®,and

Blackberry®, and the list of compatible

devices is growing.

Like Sprint’s Direct Connect and its newer

QChat, Palringo lets the user set up groups and communicate to all

members at once. But Palringo accepts an unlimited number of groups and

group sizes (Direct Connect is limited to 20 members). Also unlike Sprint’s

service, Palringo is free for the download at www.palringo.com

and does not charge for usage – or limit

recipients to those on the same wireless network.

“Sprint’s

announcement is not really a good deal for consumers. Fundamentally, it’s

still a walled garden,” says Kerry Ritz,

Palringo CEO. “In the 21^st

century, customers don’t want to be locked

into handsets, networks, or platforms. They want to communicate with

their friends and colleagues on their cool Razrs or Nokias, or whatever

strikes their fancy. Palringo offers consumers the flexibility that

Sprint doesn’t offer.”

Please contact Sue Huss for more details and to schedule interviews

around a service that universalizes push-to-talk and creates a new rich

messaging service. For more information, visit www.palringo.com.
