The service, texSMS, is a brainchild of Telepassport Namibia, a technology and communication solutions company that specialises on least cost routing for the corporate market. texSMS enables immediate text communication between office bound employees and those outside who are reachable by cellphone. "This technology makes for easy and highly effective communication and also saves on costs,"said Phillp Stier, the managing director of Telepassport. "The potential for enhanced efficiency within organizations is immense. Stier add "Our least cost routing product has been well received in the market and has made a noticeable difference in the way our clients handle their communication. Cost savings are significant and we are confident that this new product will further empower clients to communicate more effectively." The software's application plugs into Outlook and Outlook Express, allowing messages to be sent from desktop to a cellphone. Replies from cellphones are received via the e-mail box.
