Call or send SMS from Instant Messenger? A phone number for you Instant Messenger? Are you serious?
Do you use GoogleTalk (Gtalk) to stay connected with friends and relatives? Are you one of those who is the most prolific at typing messages and managing multiple conversations using Gtalk? If so, what if you could also initiate calls from Gtalk without any additional software installation? Merely send a message “call
Ok, so making calls maybe too old school for the generation that lives on SMS. What if you could send an SMS from Gtalk too? Merely message “sms
As you can see, Gtalk is now enhanced to manage calls and SMS without installing anything additional. Providing “handy” ways to stay connected with the tools that you are already so well-versed with is what it’s all about.
Assign a phone number to your GoogleTalk
When talking about tools that people are well-versed with to make calls - what’s still the most convenient and simple way for place a call? Using a phone to call a phone-number…. Can’t get any simpler than that.
So imagine that you are connected to the internet from your hotel room in Timbuktu or Paris of wherever you happen to be in the world. Someone in another part of the world is trying to reach and dials your phone number. Right at that instant, Gtalk starts ringing. You answer the call and talk as if you are next door to the caller.
“All of the above is possible using TringMe. The core philosphy at TringMe is to innovate at grassroots level and make the technology accessible to a common man of any generation” says Apul Nahata, TringMe’s Vice-President. “We strongly believe that technology that cannot be used for a greater good is merely an academic achievement and hence our focus always has been to simplify the complex uses of technology.” he adds.
New Way of Connectivity
As you know, most of the communication today is restricted to using phones and internet in isolation. i.e. using a phone to call another phone number and using internet to reach another user over internet or instant messenger.
Yusuf Motiwala, Founder & CEO of TringMe says “A definite need to integrate existing voice communication mediums arises – a means by which one need not care as to “how they are calling” another person. One should be able to call from whatever is most convenient at that point – Internet, Instant Messenger, Phones etc. and the call should be delivered to the destination on a device that’s most convenient to be reached at that point.” In other words, there needs to be a means to “unify” the current options into a cohesive offering. That’s what TringMe brings to the table and it solves a problem of communication across diverse boundaries of voice and messaging devices. For e.g. TringMe enables one to call from Browser to an Instant Messenger. Instead of only calling using Phone numbers, TringMe enables one to call using email addresses.
Battle of Asian Giants enters www China blocking Indian Cos
Talking about emerging asian economies Tringme’s founder Yusuf Motiawala sent this today.
“It’s all about India-China relation and how China doesn’t return India’s hospitality. Take for instance our company, TringMe. TringMe, as you may know is a very successful startup operating globally. TringMe’s user-base comes from all over the globe and is extremely popular in China : we have a large number of paying customers in China including a Chinese social network with 3 million users using our services. Now all of a sudden, Chinese government decided to block TringMe, how fair is it? Infact, several loyal users from China wrote to us about it and we have been trying hard to help them out. They form a significant part of our user-base and have been key to our success so far.”
“We do not have any offensive content that could be deemed inappropriate for such a irrational decision. All that we try to do is enable voice and telephony from internet. Our company’s charter is to establish ourselves as the de-facto web-based voice and telephony platform. Given that over a fifth of the world population lives in China and that our valued customers in China are caught unaware, a decision like this continues to affects companies like us who are really trying to bridge the digital divide and unify the various forms of voice communication devices.”
“Chinese products have found in-ways into all markets of the world. While India continues to promote Chinese products everywhere, either it is a local market, electronics store or even a government organization like BSNL that introduces Chinese Telecom products into every home (as DSL modems), China apparently has no qualms in blocking an Indian company entering their market. We find this unfair, obtrusive and request help from media houses like you to voice our opinion to a global consumer.”
