SAN DIEGO, CA, Jun 30 (MARKET WIRE) --
ResTXT (Reservations via TeXT, http://restxt.com) is a free service that
keeps your cellphone number private, while copying travel confirmations
to your cellphone via text message. Started by a frequent traveler and
wireless security expert, it's a simple way to automatically have your
check-in information always on your cellphone or PDA when you arrive for
a flight, rental car, or hotel stay, without disclosing your cellphone
number.
It's simple to use: by signing up at ResTXT.com you receive an e-mail
address that you give instead of your regular e-mail when making a travel
reservation. ResTXT splits your reservation confirmation, and sends an
abbreviated copy to your cellphone, and a normal copy to your regular
email. If you already have your travel reservation and want a cellphone
copy, just forward it from your regular e-mail to your e-mail@ResTXT.com
and ResTXT will automatically split the e-mail into cellphone and e-mail
copies.
How many times have you shown up at the airport, a hotel, or rental car
counter and been asked for your confirmation number, or wondered if the
rate you received for a hotel or rental car was what you were quoted?
Instead of having to print out copies of your reservations or having to
open and search your laptop, you can have just a short summary of your
confirmation handy in a text message on any cellphone or
BlackBerry/iPhone/PDA, along with the quoted price (so you can verify
you're getting the correct rate), the vendor's contact phone number for
help, and the address for hotels.
"I can finally have my travel confirmation number ready when I need it,"
says James Linlor, founder of ResTXT.
ResTXT encrypts and never releases your cellphone number to anyone, and
doesn't keep past travel receipts. The system has strong security to only
let you or authorized travel companies forward travel confirmations to
you. Each message includes a tag-line ad for a local business, such as an
offer for a great restaurant near your hotel.
ResTXT is available throughout the US and Canada on all major wireless
carriers, and on any cellphone or PDA able to receive text messages.
ResTXT is free, but users are responsible for any charges from their
wireless carrier.
