New! Textfree with Holo-gram!
Posted by pinger under noteworthy | Tags: Pinger, textfree |[20] Comments
(Shh. We think we’ve outdone FaceTime.)
Sometimes a text doesn’t quite do the job, and for that we have the power of Voice. Yet in the deep lairs of Pinger Headquarters, our research team has been working on an even greater engineering challenge: We call it a Holo-gram.
The new Holo-Gram!
Think of it as three-dimensional, real-time video. And it’s FREE.
Holo-gram is slated to take the telecom industry by storm. Imagine “visiting” a friend across the country on Pinger: See their expression and that smile you love so much. See subtle gestures, even model a new hairstyle or introduce your cat. It’s just like having a face-to-face conversation.
Dr. Jocelyn Cloutier, renowned researcher and Chief Technical Officer at Pinger, Inc. explains: “Our team has developed a unique approach to personalizing a conversation. By splitting the light from the phone’s built-in camera exactly 6 degrees in opposite directions we can create two simultaneous photographs of an interference pattern that, when suitably illuminated, produces a three-dimensional image. It’s to-scale, and it works simultaneously with the user’s voice. It literally is just like having your friend right in front of you.”
How does it work?
All you need is Textfree and 3D glasses. Just call your friend on Pinger. When they pick up, put on your glasses and Textfree does the rest. You can pick up the glasses at any movie theater, or just use polarized sunglasses. Holo-gram is free!
Give Textfree’s new Holo-gram feature a try and … smile!

TechCrunch: Deutsche Telekom’s VC Firm Makes Strategic Investment In Pinger
Posted by pinger under press release | Tags: Pinger, textfree |[17] Comments
Today in TechCrunch:
Deutsche Telekom’s VC Firm Makes Strategic Investment In Pinger
“For the last few years we’ve been tracking the growth of a service called Textfree, offered by San Jose-based startup Pinger. As the name implies, Textfree has a very attractive value proposition: you sign up, it gives you a free, real, telephone number, and you can send text messages and make phone calls with it free of charge — the service makes most of its money by displaying ads alongside the texts.
It’s also massively popular: last month alone, users sent and received a total of 2 billion text messages, and it’s one of the most downloaded iOS apps of all time. Even more impressive is the fact that the vast majority of their efforts have been concentrated in the U.S. alone — Pinger is preparing to sweep across Europe this year…”

Happy Valentine’s Day! Thanks for sharing your poems with us, we loved them all!
Here are our favorites:
————————————-
I’m so broke it isn’t funny
I can’t even text my valentine honey
But then what is it that I see
An app where you can text and talk free
Now with pinger I need no money
And I can sweet talk n text
My valentine honey bunny
————————————-
Roses are red, pinger is blue.
Unlimited texts, calls & voicemails include!
Great quality & oh such fun..
Soon it will be.. #1!
Whenever you get it, hit me up!
Because I’ve already installed it.. On my iPod touch!
————————————-
Why I was alone?
Why I didn’t have no friends?
I didn’t know.
Until I downloaded pinger, that choice was the best.
Now I have friends
I called my girlfriend and now I don’t have minutes to call the rest.
————————————-
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Pinger is so awesome
I must share it with you!
I love its free calling
When I use my iTouch
or texting like mad
on my iPhone and such.
It lives on my iPad
for whenever I need
to connect with my loved ones
In lightning-record speed.
Please stay with me Pinger
I wish for you still
To be with me always
You are the best deal!
————————————-
