Facebook Applications

Who has never felt the frustration to see a cool video alone on a web site and unable to physically share the fun with friends? TMS offers you now a user friendly way to save it on your mobile and share it at anytime and anywhere with your friends.

MobiTMS launched Friday in Facebook (and other Social Networks) a suite of applications to link web desktop direct to mobile and to develop awareness of 2D barcodes and TMS services.

The first application "TMS Search" allows the preview of the mobile landing page associated to a TMS Code and 2D barcode and to send the link directly to a mobile phone. The service also offers users the ability to create their own TMS code and 2D barcode associated to a “mobilized” content or to reference an existing 2D barcode in TMS Search to increase its audience. In complement the service offers access to a feed of codes to get a direct mobile access to goods such as popular videos.

2D barcodes + Internet Mobile Payment + Social Networks = TMS PayWorld

TMS Republic will launch next week its Mobile Payment solution.

“TMS PayWorld” is a multi device payment solution which associates Social Network model to a Mobile Wallet and 2D barcodes technology. The solution is “open” (Telco’s independent) and can be used by all mobile subscribers anywhere anytime via GRPS, EDGE, 3G or WIFI networks.

MobiTMS; after the launching, a few weeks ago, of the Mobile Search Engine of 2D barcodes, which opens up the 2D barcode technology access to all the mobile Internet users without the need to download a reader application on mobile phones. MobiTMS announces today the launching in the Philippines (world capital of SMS and Mobile goods purchases) of a mobile payment solution, Telco’s independent, which associates a real time billing platform to a 2D barcodes solution to launch transactions and an account management platform accessible on mobile phones and/or social networks web pages via a widget developed with the Open Social platform.

This TMS payment solution allow TMS accountholders to launch a transaction on multi support (Print, Web or directly in a store) just using a TMS code or 2D barcode associated to a transaction web page accessible via connected devices (computer, mobile phone…). The user can purchases mobiles goods and download them in the same sequence (MobiTMS will offer access to a catalogue of more than 90,000 mobile goods including games). The solution also allows the user to pay for web services or virtual goods and to create a friends network to transfer and receive money.

“TMS PayWorld is based on the following principles: Invitations, Widgets, Friends networks, Purchases Cash back and Recommendations” said Frederick Saurat MobiTMS co-founder. “For the launching in the Philippines (to be followed by the US in January 08) TMS will offer invitations to open a TMS PW (PayWorld) account with money already in the account for the purchase of goods. The invitation will be offered via local media partners for example: MTV, Yehey, Print magazines, Social Networks… after that TMS accountholders can start to create his own network inviting friends to open a TMS account and during the first year he will share the invited friends cash back program based on the friends’ purchases”.

“The Cash back program and the recommendation system which allows a member who makes a purchase using the TMS PW solution to recommend his purchase automatically to his friend’s network (he just needs to click on the recommendation confirm button during the mobile purchase operation) represents a real motivation for the user to develop their friends network” added David Jacka, co-founder of MobiTMS. “It’s also the first payment platform built for multi device access and developed on Social Network principles”.

More about TMS PayWorld

A user can only open a TMS PW account via invitation. A TMS accountholders can invite friends to open a TMS account and during the first year he will share with the invited friends the cash back program on the friends’ purchases.

- Widgets

The invitations to open a TMS account will be distributed on social networks via Widgets. The account management page will be accessible by Mobile phone and by TMS widget installed on the social personal page of the user. (Open Social is already a base used to develop the TMS Widgets)

Are 2D barcodes the next revolution? With “TMS Search Codes” (the browser solution to access 2D barcodes), tomorrow is already today.

A MobiTMS PR
MobiTMS launch a Code search engine which offers mobile users the ability to launch a page or an action linked to a TMS Code using the mobile phone browser; to go to www.tms-search.com and enter the code number.

MobiTMS the provider of TMS a suite of Mobile Internet Services which creates a bridge between Digital and Mobile has announced today the launching of a mobile browser solution to access 2D barcodes via the TMS Codes numbers associated.

The 2D barcode technology is a great innovation but with a major problem “The Mobile Application Download”. If we consider that a large number of the phones in the world market aren’t compatible for the reader download for different raisons (no camera, OS or camera not accessible, applications download blocked by Telco’s…) and that some users don’t know how to (or don’t want to) load a mobile application. The 2D Barcode technology is not yet ready to be used for mass market applications.

MobiTMS will continue to promote the download solution to access the TMS Codes with the development of user friendly ways to get the mobile reader as widget associated to SMS Wap link and partnerships with handsets manufacturers to embed the reader at manufacturing.

But to leverage the access of the TMS Codes and to offer immediately TMS publishers and advertiser partners mass market access, MobiTMS launch a worldwide browser solution to access the Codes.

Users who cannot get (or don’t want) the mobile reader application, can use the mobile browser to access the TMS Code Search Engine www.tms-search.com and enter the TMS Code to launch the action or pages linked. (And bookmark the address for the next use).

“With these 2 solutions, download & browser, the TMS Codes & Barcodes are accessible by 100% of the mobile users with GPRS, EDGE, 3G or WIFI. This is what has been requested by our partners in I.C.E (Internet, Communities and Entertainment) businesses, we have opened to them a huge market that is accessible right now”, says Frederick Saurat the co-founder of MobiTMS.

How Does a Barcode Reader Work ;-?

A really cool video about barcodes ....

TMS Republic launch a V2

TMS Republic launch a new beta version www.tmsrepublic.com based on 3 areas of services around the TMS codes, which are the heart of TMS. (The entrance to each area of services is represented by a black background page to symbolize a door or “passage to”).

The first area is a place where you can find the mobile version of “your favorite” blogs, media, videos….and get it via the associated TMS codes. We will add the possibility to suggest and vote for news “mobilized” contents. The second area is a place where you can “mobilize” your own contents or Social services (such as Blogs, Flickr Album, Twitter…) and create the TMS codes to share them. The third area is the Mobile payment platform where you can manage your account (TMS Wallet), your purchases and make P2P transfers via TMS codes.

The TMS codes are linked to Mobile Url contents or Mobile actions (send SMS, Call back, Transfer info or money…)

The TMS codes can be used with 3 different options:

1) The TMS 2D barcode and the Mobile code reader. The user needs the TMS barcode reader application* on his phone to scan the barcode (or enter the code number) and access directly to the content or launch an action. (The most sexy and friendly).

* To receive the FREE TMS reader compatible for his phone (more than 500 models) the user just needs to give his cell number from our web site www.tmsrepublic.com and he will receive the mobile wap link for a direct download.

2) TMS Code Search. The user opens the TMS republic wap portal (already bookmarked in his phone) and enters the TMS code in the TMS search engine which will link him direct to the content.

3) TMS Mobi Twitt and the TMS MobiBot. The user can use Twitter, or the mobile version built by TMS, to send a TMS code to the TMS Republic Feed via direct message and the TMS MobiBot will send back the mobile wap link to click (via SMS notification).

We are working on a new platform "My TMS" stay linked for updates

Lebron James with a TMS barcode, What more?

Nike in “Mobile 2.0” Campaign with TMS

NIKE Asia launches in Phil the first “Mobile 2.0” Ads campaign in ASIA using TMS, the suite of Internet Mobile Services. For the first step of this campaign 4 NBA stars (Lebron James, Kidd, Pierce, Soudemare) are associated to a TMS barcodes linked to mobile goods to download.

The campaign looks very good! Big (8 x 11 feet) outdoor billboards and posters in NIKE stores. They also inserted a poster in FHM, one of the most popular magazine in Phil.

My son is really crazy about NBA (like me) and when I told him that NIKE launched a campaign with the TMS barcodes associated to Lebron and Kidds and I saw his eyes I understood the deep mean of the Andy Warhol concept "15 of minutes fame"... for my son I'm now a hero but we have a new bet: associate a TMS barcode to Ronaldinho ;-)

NIKE please help me!

Show Time!

Bonjour
We are launching our “Big Baby” next weeks “TMS Mobile PayWorld” and in the same time we decided to launch our blog to have an interaction with the mobile users. This blog has the ambition to let the TMS community members be informed of all the news of our services and content partners that can be found in TMS Republic, but also about the evolution of the Mobile Planet in terms of new services and technologies.

We really believe that the Third Screen is in revolution (via the offer of high speed Internet access), and the Telco’s are in the same position as the Internet Web access providers 10 years ago in the sense that by offering internet access they opened the door of mobile subscriber access to new players and lost the exclusive control of the user base (some handset manufacturers as NOKIA understood this and anticipate the future by going into mobile entertainment business). The entrance of new players in the business will offer many new applications for the benefit of the consumers.

The TMS suite of Internet Mobile Services has the ambition to participate in this revolution and we think that The TMS Mobile payment solution “TMS Mobile Payworld”, the first Telco’s independent solution which includes a real time mobile billing platform and 2D barcodes technology, is one of the answers to the “Mobile Generation” expectations in terms of “user friendly and worldwide mobile payment solution”. We hope that TMS Mobile PayWorld become an everyday convenient payment method adopted.
And in your side don't stay "watching the paint dry", participate to the revolution via your comments and your suggestions.
