Why Yoober.com It Might Be A Killer

Yoober is more then just a social community – it’s a communications tool – with strong cost benefits to many people who are on data plans, and/or users across Asia Pac and part of Europe where the general cost of mobile data is FAR cheaper then SMS messages.

For 1KB of data (1024 characters of text), Yoober users can send the equivalent of 6.5 SMS messages. So for the same price as 1 SMS in many markets (10 cents) users can send 65 Yoobers messages (at 1 cent per KB)

By using pure-data to transfer messages, Yoober can slash the cost of SMS, while delivering many other benefits such as sending one message to one or one thousand people – without paying a cent more.

Because Yoober sends messages via the web rather then the carrier, users also don’t need to worry about paying a cent more for interstate or overseas text messaging.

Lastly, users are whacked an additional fee if they go over 80 (doublebyte) or 160 (roman) characters in a message, unlike telcos who charged for every 160 characters as a seperate message.

Using this angle, Yoober aims to compete with telco’s to provide a much cheaper, global text messaging alternative to SMS.

In line with our focus on texting rather then IM, Yoober is also shortly launching new ways to message and use text messages, that will link mobile users with their desktops and online spaces like never before.
