Singles Can't Help Falling in Love Using Match.com Mobile, SMS.ac and Lavalife

Looking for love this Valentine's Day? Sprint is offering its customers access to mobile dating services that can provide great ways to flirt, chat and possibly fall in love.

Mobile dating services are similar to online dating services, enabling singles to create a profile, search profiles and communicate one-on-one via text messaging. With mobile dating, singles on the go aren't tied to their computer. Instead, they can browse profiles and chat anytime and anywhere they have their mobile phones with them.

Two mobile dating services are available today to Sprint customers with select Sprint PCS Vision(SM) handsets: SMS.ac and Match.com Mobile.

SMS.ac

Sprint is the first wireless provider in the United States to offer SMS.ac, the largest and fastest-growing mobile community in the world. SMS.ac offers three services:
— Flirt - Users can search profiles and find a date for $0.25 per
text message sent and received.
— Clubs - Users can join mobile communities to chat on any topic with
only one message to many users. A user starts a conversation with
other club members by sending the club a message. Then members of
the club can reply with messages about their thoughts and comments.
A user can send a message for free and pays $0.25 per message
received. Users can choose how many messages they want to receive
per day.
— Channels - Users can choose to receive the latest news, horoscopes,
celebrity gossip and more for $.25 per text message received.


Match.com Mobile

With Match.com Mobile, powered by Enpocket's Eden dating engine, users can sign up, explore and find matches for free.

I wish they would come out with more useful products such as EV-DO and smartphones.
