US-Based Cherple Connecting People in More Than 125 Countries Through Free PC-to-Cell SMS Text Messaging

SAN DIEGO--(Business Wire)--
Cherple, the free two-way text messaging application, is now in use in 126
countries with nearly 10 million users as of April 17 -- only 100 days since its
Jan. 8, 2009, launch. Available from the English-language site, www.cherple.com,
Cherple connects any online computer in the world to any U.S. mobile phone via
SMS.

Of the approximate 10 million users of Cherple, the vast majority come from the
United States, followed by India, Canada, Brazil and the Philippines, with the
United Kingdom and China barely missing the top five. With users in every
continent except Antarctica, Cherple has become a worldwide phenomenon in less
than four months.

The Cherple patent-pending technology features an easy-to-use interface and the
ability to send a text message to -- and then from -- any U.S. cell phone,
making it the ideal platform to have a real time, two-way chat across any
distance, without the need for a special wireless data plan, smart phone or
registration. Standard text messaging rates apply to the U.S. cell phone user,
but there is no cost to the on-line user who initiates and maintains the
conversation.

"With the world`s population having sent more than three trillion text messages
last year, the Cherple app offers an easy-to-use and easy-to-access SMS solution
for the our more global society," explained Robert Sanchez, Globaltel Media
president and CEO. "Cherple allows families and friends to stay connected
anytime and anywhere even across international borders, time zones and oceans."

The application can be run directly from www.cherple.com or downloaded for free
and used as a desktop application for Microsoft Windows and Macintosh computers.

Cherple, powered by Globaltel Media, follows the Mobile Marketing Association`s
permission-based guidelines and is opt-in/opt-out compliant. Use of Cherple is
paid for through banner advertising and white-label licensing. For more on
