Don't be a Turkey this Thanksgiving: Celebrate responsibly, have a DD lined up or call #TAXI

Nov. 24, 2009 - PRLog -- With Thanksgiving fast approaching and families all across the US coming home to celebrate, #TAXI ("Pound Taxi) wants to ensure everyone across America has a fun and safe time. #TAXI won't help with being stuffed with too much good food and drink with family and friends but it can, however, prevent you from becoming another holiday drunk driving statistic.

With a drunk driving death occurring in North America approximately every 45 minutes, CellWand Communications Inc., a leading provider of mobile on-demand services for mobile phone users, creator of  #TAXI®  (# 8-2-9-4) and a national sponsor of Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (MADD), is making an offer they hope you will gobble up.

“Our thanksgiving wish is for that everyone's “last call” is to #TAXI (# 8-2-9-4) on a mobile phone,” says Nick Quain, CellWand’s CEO. “Available on almost all major wireless carriers, it will connect to the first open dispatch at a local taxi company. It’s the best gift you can give yourself, your friends and your family.

“We’ll even throw in an incentive. Go to htpp://www.poundtaxi.com and enter to win $520 in taxi vouchers. You can party all year long, but just do it safely.”

#TAXI connects callers to the first available taxi company or their preferred one while avoiding busy signals during peak times to make hailing a cab fast and easy across North America. It’s available for $1.25 to $1.79 per call, depending on the wireless carrier and takes no money from taxi companies.
