Currently there are three million mobile phone subscribers in this country, or 77% of are the total population. Over 90% of the 18-24 year olds now have mobile phones and mobile penetration is highest among students. According to the Commission for Communications Regulation, the third quarter of last year saw Irish users alone send a staggering 585 million text messages. So Text messaging is now very much a mainstream way of communicating in the modern society. It is a technology that the 18-30 year olds are very familiar with and are using more and more frequently in every day life.

Text Flirt is an exiting new activity for people in bars, nightclubs or other social venues. Imagine being able to meet and flirt anonymously with someone in a bar or club without even knowing their mobile phone number!

Each location, be it a pub, nightclub or other social centre is identified by a code , which is quoted by users, when they register with the service to beginning flirting. Flirting is safe and fun as no mobile phone numbers are ever exchanged and abusive users can be automatically dropped from the system.

Text Flirt’s return on investment is twofold. Most obvious is that it operates using premium rate SMS services and thus the client (i.e. the venue owner or event organizer) would benefit from a share of the revenue accumulated by the premium rate SMS traffic.

Additionally, however, Text Flirt is an excellent value-added service for a client’s customers. Adding a new and exciting dimension to their time in the venue and thus encouraging them to return and, by word of mouth, others to visit.
