Textually covers a story about a new launch of US-based DialaCard.
The idea is that you take a pic on your camera phone, add text and send it to them. They’ll then print a post card and send it out for you.
So let’s get this right.
You take a picture, then invest some time in a witty caption. Then change the settings on your phone, coz they’ll be “out of the box” wrongly configured, if it’s like the UK. And spend a silly amount of money sending it to DialaCard. Who then charge you more money to print a copy and more money to post it.
Hmmm. Call me Mr Sceptical.
I really hate being critical of entrepreneur’s dreams. But I’m sorry, assuming you’re in the tiny minority who ever send an MMS is the first place, wouldn’t you just send the thing straight to its intended recipient in the first place?
Or even put it on your PC, put the caption on with Photoshop (if you can send an MMS. you’ll certainly be able to edit a photo) and email it free. And if you can do this, you’re certainly not going to be the type of person who knows someone without email.
Sorry, chaps.
