RedRock TextNow! enables instant delivery of text messages from any pc on a network to any mobile phone or SMS enabled device.

Milton Keynes, United Kingdom. November 30th 2000. - RedRock Technologies, one of the worlds leading developers of communications and messaging software, today announced the launch of its new text messaging software for networks and Windows. Available in versions for networks and single user, RedRock TextNow! is compatible with Windows 95,98,ME,2000 and NT 4.0.

RedRock TextNow! is designed to make the sending of text messages as simple as possible. Installed on any TCPIP network, TextNow! enables users to create and send messages from either a Windows or a Web client. Users can access their personal or global address books. Text messages can be submitted to one or multiple addresses simultaneously, enabling users to communicate with thousands mobile users instantly.

RedRock TextNow! includes an 'Easy API', a complete programmers interface that enables third party applications to become "text" enabled. With RedRock TextNow!, CRM, accounting, monitoring and scheduling applications can keep users informed or alert them when circumstances require.

"With the introduction of RedRock TextNow!, RedRock is continuing to deliver on its promise to provide simplicity, reliability and performance within communications and messaging solutions." Said Stephen Anderson, Joint Managing Director. "The demand for, and the need to communicate information instantly is essential. TextNow! provides the easiest and most instant way to deliver a message from your desktop, directly into the pocket of the person or persons you need to reach."

The philosophy behind all RedRock software products is simplicity, reliability and performance. "There are free text messaging services on many internet portals, but their services are neither reliable nor instant" said Stephen Anderson, "With RedRock TextNow!, delivery is instant, you can even see the status of your messages in the queue. What's more, you can deliver a single message to multiple users simultaneously without the advertising slogans added by ISP's that reduce the content of your message."

"Communication is all about speed and reliability" said Andrew Anderson, CTO. "We've run tests where RedRock TextNow! delivered 100 messages to mobile phones in under 60 seconds. The most effective "free" services offered by an internet portal were able to deliver just one message at a time in anything up to 38 hours later."
