CNET tested new cellity Communicator

Friday, June 13th, 2008

The new cellity Communicator was introduced to Jessica Dolcourt of CNET. She tested the free mobile software on her BlackBerry phone. Depending on your mobile device you will either download a regular or an advanced version of the free mobile software. The advanced version runs on over 280 devices worldwide, including leading mobile phone manufacturers like Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Motorola and Samsung. We are currently working on the advanced version for BlackBerry phones. Here you can read the whole article:

“cellity Communicator is an e-mail, SMS, and calling client and service for Java cell phones that’s better than it looks. That may not sound terribly heartening, but it’s no derisive knock. Designing an app that crams phone calls, conference calls, various tiers of texting, and e-mail into a mobile application and still manages to look simple is quite an achievement.

It is arguably overly so. Compared with other mobile communication applications, like EQO and Fring, Cellity Communicator reveals a rather dressed-down interface that requires a few too many clicks to get contacts added and messages started. To Cellity’s credit, the interface can be expanded to include more options with an expert mode. Higher-end Java MIDP2 phones support contact-importing, but BlackBerrys don’t, so those folks will labor to enter contacts by hand.

When it comes to performance, Cellity Communicator does deliver on promises of sending and receiving e-mail and SMS messages through various approaches, and of providing cheap international calling through purchased credit. At this point, phones calls are placed through a ring-back bridge.

Cellity’s selection of text services is wide, but potentially confusing. Besides shooting an e-mail to a contact’s address, there’s free SMS texting to other registered users using Cellity’s integrated FreeSMS product, and a glorified version of FreeSMS that is positioned as an e-mail message one addresses to a cell phone number. Nonregistered users receive teasers from these two message types with a prompt to download the communicator. Sending a regular text message is a workaround, though depending on your plan, Cellity’s charge could exceed your carrier’s cost.

Since Cellity Communicator begins by giving you a unique Cellity.com e-mail address, the app could function as a person’s only e-mail client. However, there’s not much in the way of message management, so I’m hesitant to recommend it for those with other options. The program also supports Web mail-forwarding and replying through another e-mail address.

Sounds like a fine app, right? It is, at least on paper. Despite its demonstrable uses for both low-end and high-end devices, Cellity Communicator simply fails to grab me. It doesn’t help matters that a couple of obvious bugs have been allowed to slip through and that I’m biased against multiple clicks to accomplish a simple task. All things said and done, it is a quite decent app that has a strong following and could secure a stronger future, but which still feels more unfinished and less engaging than its peers.”

cellity’s freeSMS messaging application now available on Facebook® Platform

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007


After building a strong network of contacts online for free, why pay to maintain your contacts offline? Porting of cellity’s successful freeSMS cellphone application on Facebook will effectively stop these networking fees: All Facebook users can now send messages with no advertising up to 2,048 characters in length to as many as 10 recipients at the same time—and do so as many times a days as they want.

Once freeSMS has been installed on a user’s Facebook profile, text messages can be easily entered at a computer and sent to anyone in the world free of charge. Recipients can either receive messages on their cellphone or read them in their cellity inbox on Facebook.

There is no charge for sending messages. Anybody with a Facebook profile can use the application. Simply go to http://apps.facebook.com/cellityfreesms and follow the installation instructions.

Mashable: Cellity’s New Mobile Software for International & Group Calls

Tuesday, September 18th, 2007

Cellity, the Germany-based company that has created the mobile application for using Twitter on the go, has launched two new applications in the U.S. for making calls abroad, and holding conference group calls as well.

Named worldCALL and groupCALL, these two new offerings are built on the same underlying technology. These two services differ in how they’re to be used. worldCALL is for making calls to friends and family abroad. This low-cost mobile solution will work on nearly all cell phones, including prepaid users and others that don’t have international calling options. groupCALL, on the other hand, is for holding conference calls for multiple people. The cost of one conference call will cover all of the participating users. For 5 users in the U.S., it will cost you less than twenty cents.

That being said, you do have the option of making group calls, even with the worldCALL feature. You’ll need GPRS in order to utilize these downloadable tools, and a shortcode option is also available for accessing the software, though this is a German number. These services do not yet support the iPhone, but a workaround is currently being investigated by Cellity.
