Interactive Messaging Unlimited

   

Pangolin's Interactive Messaging Unlimited system lets you 1) receive and process incoming SMS text messages, and 2) display them on the Internet, or in public using video or lasers. Step 1 is handled by a program also named IMU, which is described below. Step 2 is handled by an SMS text display program such as Video Messaging Unlimited, which is included in the IMU system.

Receive and process SMS text messages

IMU message handling screen - Click for larger imageThe Interactive Messaging Unlimited program handles incoming SMS text messages, filters them for language and other criteria, and then queues them for display by other Pangolin programs such as Video Messaging Unlimited.

IMU allows you to conduct a variety of SMS promotions. In the common vernacular, these promotions take on a number of names, including SMS Chatting, SMS Voting, SMS Polling, SMS TV, Text-to-screen, Text-to-TV, Club SMS, etc.

A major advantage of the IMU system is that it is completely under your control. It runs on your own computer. All messages and data are completely private -- they never leave your computer. There is a one-time flat-fee for purchasing the system; that means no monthly or per message costs to limit you. Because you own and run it, you can customize it to work the way you need.

Easy to use, sophisticated technology

IMU is easy to use. It features setup wizards and option screens that clearly describe your many filtering and response options. Message handling works like Microsoft's familiar Outlook e-mail program.

IMU is also technologically sophisticated. It automatically finds cell phones and cellular modems connected to your computer. It works with both GSM and CDMA systems, and adapts itself to the cellular carrier's particular implementation. It handles multiple connections, so you can have different incoming numbers for special applications, like voting.

For mobile applications such as DJs and special events, a laptop (center) works great.
