Net4Nuts offers Bits & pieces of Internet on Mobile

PRLog (Press Release) - Dec 29, 2008 -
Ahmedabad, India: Waiting to watch a movie on one of your favorite movie channels? No need to worry anymore… Check TV schedules provided by Net4Nuts to view all the options available. You can even choose to receive an SMS alert few minutes before the movie is about to start! Next morning on your way to the office, your mobile beeps again with the latest stock quotes. Furthermore… your friend on phone requests you to suggest suitable transport options to Pune, you hold your call for a while, type 3-4 keys on your mobile handset and suggest available flight, train and bus options along with their fares!

Well, all this is true today for the people who have come across Net4Nuts Information Services. The services are available in different categories ranging from fun-related Entertainment and Lifestyle to informative Language tools to more business oriented information under Travel and Finance – all these made available right on your mobile screen. All tthese services work out to be quite cost-effective too with per-request charge of Rs. 3 or per-day charge (for unlimited usage) of Rs. 5.

It may give some the impression that these services on mobile can be accessed only by digi-savvy people and only on high-end mobile handsets but the reality is that these services are very easy to use and are accessible even on very basic handsets. Owing to some gripping service traits like these, Net4Nuts has successfully deployed many of these services for leading Indian mobile operators like Airtel, Vodafone, Idea and Reliance – on SMS and WAP both.

However, given that much of this information is already available on the Internet, why would someone try and access them through mobile? Well, the explanation is fairly simple… mobile penetration in India is in excess of 20% whereas computer penetration still stands at a meagre 2%. Moreover, now 1 out of every 5 mobile users in India connects to the Internet through the handset! This just goes on to show that the need to access information on mobile is paramount and pervasive.

“If (Internet like) information are available on mobiles – it would find huge acceptance from mobile users”, feels Chirag Patel, CEO of Net4Nuts. He further adds, “A lot of data & information is available on Internet but not much is available on mobile. While information on Internet is for masses, information on mobile can be made more personalized. Net4Nuts has succeeded in this and has tweaked its Information Services to meet more specific needs.”

Net4Nuts powers the rapidly growing ‘information-on-move’ economy by enabling mobile-access of vital information to users – anywhere, anytime. Net4Nuts has been regularly adding new features to its services with an aim to provide better value to mobile users as well as operators. As voice has become highly commoditized, these ARPU enhancing services work as a differentiation and customer stickiness tool for the mobile operators too
