Hi,
I’m a new start-up company in the process of finalising development on a cost saving Free mobile application for the iPhone followed by the Android market. There will be no costs to the users.
The purpose of this exercise is to generate feedback from a wide spectrum of potential users which would hopefully allow for changes to be implemented before final development is complete and App is submitted to Apple for review.
Overview:
(suggested blurb)
Network-ID is a FREE mobile phone application designed to save you money. It reduces your mobile phone bill by showing you which network your friends and contacts are registered with. With this information you can then take advantage of the Free Calls & Texts to same network numbers.
Network-ID helps to solve the problem of not knowing which network your friends and contacts are with. It therefore can help you to ‘Talk More For Less’.
------
Basically the idea for the App came about when I went looking for a new phone. I had previously been on a company phone and as such never had to pay or think about the costs of bills or duration of calls etc.
The one common denominator within all bill pay contracts provided by each network providers was the option to include ‘Free Calls & Tests’ as part of your plan. The problem was that since the market was deregulated there was no way of knowing which of your friends/ colleagues/ family etc were registered with which network.
Network-ID is attempting to provide a solution to this by allowing the user to identify which network their contacts are on allowing each to capitalise on their ‘Free Calls & Texts.’
------
Our software empowers users with information allowing each to make free calls through their existing network provider. Unlike other VOIP providers Network-ID does not require an internet connection.
Users download the App and choose their network provider. As more of their contacts register their details will get uploaded into the App providing the user with a list of contacts categorised by their chosen network.
The user can open the App and identify which contacts are registered with which network. The user can manually add contacts to the App thus building a list of
-----
Target audiences:
- Social groups (friends/ clubs/ colleges/ schools): friends will have the opportunity to find out which of their friends are registered with which network – if they find that most of their friends are registered with another network it could prompt that they change
- SME/s Start-Ups – new businesses looking for a new provider could first check with network most of their contacts are registered proving costs savings on future bills
- Company phones – many company’s now include a work-only calls policy or limited personal calls usage – employees using the App would have the ability to identify friends/ family on their network meaning calls made to each would not incur any additional charges/ penalties from their employer.
-----
Questions:
What do people think of the idea?
Would you download it?
Any suggestions ideas on how it could be improved (I realise the difficultly in giving opinions without first seeing or interacting with the App but any ideas/ suggestions/ criticisms welcome (try not to be too harsh!!!)
-----
You can PM for an offline discussion.
Thanks in advance!
