Ribbit Mobile Enters Beta; Invitations Available for WWD Readers

November 9th, 2009 (11:00am) Charles Hamilton 4 CommentsTweet This (16)

The folks at Ribbit Mobile are offering 100 invitations to WebWorkerDaily readers for the beta of their new communication service. Just sign up on the reservations page, and enter the invite code “wwd09″ in the appropriate box.

Ribbit Mobile has more features than Google Voice, and reminds me a bit of VoxOx, which I wrote about a few days ago. This service looks very promising, but, like VoxOx, it isn’t finished yet. I’ve been unable to test it fully, because it doesn’t yet support Sprint cellphones. I also can’t get my contact list to import, either from a CSV file or through Plaxo (the only options Ribbit Mobile supports). I hope to post a fuller review soon.

Try it out, and let us know how Ribbit Mobile works for you.

Thanks for the heads-up on the new service Charles.

I’ve been looking for an alternative to Google! ;~)

Their features list looks impressive

I just heard of this service through your blog. I have to say I’m impressed. I guess the only thing left is to be impressed in practice :)
