ShoZu has teamed-up with global roaming provider MAXroam to provide iPhone users with a convenient way to minimise the cost of sharing photos and video clips while roaming.
Under the agreement, iPhone users who have purchased the ShoZu application (costs $4.99) will get an access to MAXroam’s service, which provides data roaming discounts of up to 70% in 139 countries. On the other hand, MAXroam users get the ShoZu iPhone application practically for free.
To sign up for MAXroam’s service, ShoZu users request a coupon code from ShoZu.com and then redeem it on the MAXroam Web site to receive a $4.99 credit toward MAXroam service. ShoZu users also must purchase a MAXroam SIM card, which is included in the MAXroam service bundles.
The other way round also works – iPhone owners who visit the MAXroam website will be invited to purchase the ShoZu from the AppStore and receive a coupon code that will give their MAXroam account a $4.99 credit.
Neat marketing plot, don’t you think? After all, if you’re going to need roaming service, why not get a free app along the way. And ShoZu is certainly a useful addition to your application library.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
