One of the largest (if not THE largest) online dating services Match.com finally decided to join the ride of the mobile wave with its newly launched MatchMobile service. Developed in partnership with Trilibis Mobile, the new service allows users to search for profiles, receive text message alerts when they are sent a “wink” or an e-mail from another Match.com member, and send and respond to e-mails and “winks” directly from their cell phones.
In order to “date on the go,” Match.com users have to sign up from their existing account to opt to receive free text alerts, wink and search. Want to read and respond to your emails from a cell phone? Prepare to pay additional five bucks ($4.99) on top of your existing membership plan per month.
There you have it. In case you live in U.S., Canada or UK and are the existing Match.com, feel free to flirt from your mobile phone starting from today. Live somewhere else? Hopefully, the dating service will include your country in their “nine additional markets” expansion plan by year end.
