New SMS Price Comparison Service

25 October 2006 by axxxr
The first mobile comparison service to allow shoppers to check online prices on the move using their mobile phone, has been launched for consumers.

Shoppers seeking the best deals will be able to text 60207 to receive internet price information for electrical and white goods such as televisions, cameras, washing machines and freezers. The service is designed to allow consumers to make informed choices while shopping on the high street.

Shoppers wishing to use the service simply text the make.model number of their chosen product (e.g Panasonic.TH42PX60) to 60207. Within 30 seconds they will receive a text which outlines the best three prices available from 60207’s extensive internet database. If the consumer wishes to buy they have the option to purchase the product directly from the e-tailer at no additional cost using 60207. Purchases can be made over the phone or online via 60207.com by quoting a unique PIN code.

The service is backed by leading communications and telecoms experts including Justin Dukes, the founding managing director of Channel 4 Television. Nick Mearing-Smith, managing director of 60207, commented: “As Christmas approaches the high streets will be packed with stressed bargain hunters looking for a good deal on anything from a new HD TV for the living room to a fridge freezer for the kitchen. Many will be left disappointed when they discover the bargain they got on the high street doesn’t look so great when they return home and check online. Whether shoppers are searching for good deals on the high street or simply don’t have access to the net, 60207 will give them the power to make informed decisions without them wondering if they are getting a good deal."
