News for 'GOIG' - (GO800 Texting Service Connects Consumers to BP Hotline Text OILSPILL to 46800 (GO800))
NEW YORK, NY, May 04, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- GoIP Global, Inc.,
(PINKSHEETS: GOIG) NEW YORK... In response to the unprecedented economic and
ecological impact caused by the recent oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, GO800
Corp (a GOIP Global subsidiary) has created a keyword to link consumers to the
BP hotline through its free texting service. Consumers can text OILSPILL to
46800 (which spells "GO800" when dialed out) and within 10 seconds, they will be
linked with the BP Oil Spill Hotline.
According to Ike Sutton, CEO, the company is making its service available for
the benefit of anyone stricken by the disaster. "Although BP is not our client,
the needs of the community outweigh signing up a new client at this moment. We
want to provide immediate assistance and this situation underscores the benefits
of our technology. Most consumers may not remember the BP Hotline
(866-448-5816), but if they text OILSPILL to 46800, that is a much simpler
process," he explained.
GO800 (www.GO800corp.com) is a simple and free Text/SMS service that has
combined the power of text with connectivity to bring cell phone users into
direct and instant contact with companies, services, reservation systems and a
multitude of other business and consumer offerings.
Press reports note that consumers can call the BP Hotline to receive information
on protective measures that can be taken, report an oiled shoreline and/or
request volunteer information.
