Real-Time Alert, Notification And Response System For SMS Text Messages And Emails Sent From Any Device To A Blackberry

Online, November 9, 2010 (Newswire.com) - appsFX, a leading provider of BlackBerry Smartphone applications for both business and personal use announces the launch its two newest apps,Text911™ and Mail911™, designed to ensure users never miss an important text or email again.

According to the Wireless Association's (CTIA) May 2010 Survey, text messaging continues to grow at an unprecedented rate: more than 822 billion text messages sent and received on carrier networks during the last half of 2009 alone, amounting to almost 5 billion messages per day at the end of the year. During the entire 2009 calendar year, there were more than 1.5 trillion text messages reported on carriers' networks.

"There is nothing more frustrating than waiting for the business information you need and you miss the text or email because it gets lost in all of the other alerts you receive," said Rocci Della Maggiore, President of appsFX. "We have become so reliant on smartphones in our day-to-day lives that implementing tools that help important messages rise above the din is not only important, it's essential."

Text911 and Mail911 allows users to add as many profiles as they would like for family, friends or business contacts. Based on user defined pre-set triggers, when the user receives a text or email with the key word(s), phrase or phone number, the BlackBerry will vibrate, the screen will flash and a specified audio will play, and will continue to do so until the message is read. The user specifies the combination of alerts and the message urgency in their profiles. In addition, the sender receives a notification text (from Text911) or email (from Mail911) to let them know that their message was received and if the recipient is currently active on their phone. And, once the message is opened, the sender receives another message letting them know it's been read. A GPS location can also be sent to the originator if that is important to the user.

For businesses with multiple users, Text911 or Mail911 can be deployed and managed easily to as many users as the company likes through the use of Blackberry Enterprise Server (BES) or with appsFX proprietary Portal Management Push Technology (PMPT).
