Shorthand Mobile

Based in San Diego, Shorthand Mobile, Inc, offers the world’s first text-based apps, TextApps, for people without data plans. Shorthand’s TextApps work via SMS to deliver a rich, interactive user-experience for mobile customers worldwide. Because they use SMS, TextApps are the best way for websites and content providers to reach the largest possible mobile market.

While there is incredible buzz around mobile app consumption, in reality, only 12% of the almost four billion mobile phone subscribers worldwide actually have data plans. Countless people are left sidelined when it comes to accessing mobile content. Shorthand is changing that. Shorthand Mobile’s TextApps will bring valuable and popular web content to the mobile masses worldwide, many of whom don’t yet have access to wired Internet. And it’s all powered by SMS.

TextApps are give access to mobile content ranging from social media to finance to entertainment on the phones people already own and using the plans they already pay for.
