Mpush is a nice product but we differ in FIVE key ways:

1) BabeCell dynamically inserts mobile hyperlinks over your images and video assets. With MPush you need to do some work - you need to insert text based links. With BabeCell you simple add a 100 charatcter line of javascript into your gallery template(gallery.HTML,.PHP or .ASP for example) in between the tag. You then use the BabeCell webmaster administrartion console to tell BabeCell what site categories you want to BabeCell enable (mobile enable) and at what price point. E.g Twinks, MenOver30, Babes, Group etc...

2) BabeCell is aimed exclusively at helping US adult webmasters convert their international traffic & members. MPush aims at mainstream and adult so they cant productize to meet the demands of the adult industry (privacy, anonymity) they need to cater to a wide audience. We know it is legally treacherous trying to distribute cell phone content across the US - not only do you have Ashcroft watching over your sholder (well not so intently now!) but you have very nervous carriers too who will pull your account if you so much as send the wrong 'type' of picture. As BabeCell is the only product that cellular enables websites to focus on adult we offer a wealth of legal/carrier guidance with respect to what you can and cannot do.

3)The end user experience is sign up once and forget. BabeCell automaticaly detects ALL of your customers settings (carrier, handset, country) and sets up a permanet account using session PHP. We dont use cookies, as Mpush do, as we don;t believe these to be secure and consumers tend to 'clear' their cookies from time to time which means you lose customer interest as they need to retype all of their details! So your end users can feel very secure knowing they have an account to authenticate before they can buy any content

4) We offer online end user purchase tracking. Because SMS service can vary in speed of delivery it is critical that the customer be informed at every stage where there order is otherwise they will become frustrated at busy periods (e.g Friday night at 6pm when lots of SMS are been sent around carrier networks). BabeCell order tracker visually displays the movement of their order - in realtime - from handset, to carrier, to babecell and back. Our end users love this - its unique.

5) We offer 24/7 365 multilingual support. Your members can view there own transactio history online and also call a local helpdesk by phone or email in their own language. They are in FULL control . Our customer reps also have full control to resend images and other adult assets if there appears to be a problem.

I'd love to talk to you in more detail. Gay content is huge in Europe and we know that US gay niche is very popular - I assume you have a substantial proportion of international traffic hitting your site? Gay mobile content is very hot as the community tend to have up to date WAP phones (for fashion reasons) and so have full acess to cell phone content.

We have a credit card BabeCell solution in place for the US market but we are holding back until the carriers make clear the contractual position. We've spent a long time getting connections to the US marekt, that we use to run mainstream mobile activity (for brands and content owners)so we dont want to jepeordize this. To give you an example - AT&T will not even allow CC processing for adult cellcontent let alone premium rate SMS!! So be wary of any solutions that claim they can provide you with access to all of the US carriers - ensure that you are not legally exposed to cripling carrier fines. Your 'provider' will ensure that any fines are your responsibility - if you send content that upsets the carriers moderators then you'l need to find a good lawyer fast. Sorry to be so flippant but these are just the facts - US carriersare taking a much harder line than non-domestic with respect to adult cell content.

Right now we believe that for US adult webmasters to a)test this market)

create 5% uplift in annual gross rev is to sell cell content to yourr internationall users DIRECTLY from oyor website. Dont invest in a new site/wap site/mobile content until you have proven to yourself that this business works. BabeCell can help you do that overnight at $0 cost.

We'd love to help you and we can have you up and running is less that 1 hour with 24 hours for content approval (we check your content against carreir guidelines and advise what categories are approproate/inappropriate for carrier distribution)

The 50% is of net payout. This equates to approx $1 in your pocket for every $3 image sold and $2.30 for every 60 sec 12fps video clip sold for $7

Please hit me up - would love to talk.
