Go Mobile launches CNN breaking news SMS alerts

Go Mobile has followed up the launch of its WAP-based CNNmobile service with the launch last week of CNN Breaking News SMS Alerts, a service that provides users with the latest international news via SMS as soon as the stories break.

"All Go Mobile customers can benefit from this service," Franco Aloisio, Go Mobile's public relations and market research executive, said. "Now, one doesn't need to follow the news, as the news follows the subscriber. When a significant story breaks, CNN will send a text alert to one's Go Mobile phone."

To subscribe to CNN breaking news SMS alerts, send an SMS containing S CNN to 4505 (cost is 5c). Each CNN breaking news SMS alert costs 5c. Go Mobile customers who have already subscribed to CNNmobile will receive CNN breaking news SMS alerts at no extra cost.

Go Live! customers who wish to subscribe to CNNmobile may access Go Live! by visiting golive or http://wap.go.com.mt Subscription costs Lm1.50 for a 30-day period, and includes free CNN breaking news SMS alerts.
