A Major New Invention is Coming Soon

A brand-new invention for flip phones is on the way. It’s an absolute innovation and is going to be a huge breakthrough in the business world.

It’s a holy project that Rabbis and Dayanim (judges) encouraged me to dive into. A lot of hard work has already gone into it over the past several months, B"H, and now the time of “those who sow in tears” [to reap in joy] has arrived.

As my personal Dayan, Harav Hagaon Reb Moshe Teitelbaum shlita, told me in these exact words:

“Listen to me, Reb Yoel: You need to be like a rock! Nothing should bother you, you must hold your ground and not get scared of anything—you hear? You just need to do your part for the Almighty’s sake, and you will see that with Hashem’s help you will succeed, and make money from it too. Just make sure to do your part.”

Fast forward about a year: the Dayan shlita and other Daas Torah consistently guided me along the right path—sometimes pointing me in a direction completely opposite to what I originally thought was necessary. For instance, they wanted it structured in a truly kosher manner rather than just thrown together, yet still advanced and appealing to working men, with a special emphasis on Rabbis and Dayanim who do not use touchscreens.

It is currently running on a few select beta tester phones. For more details, we’ll have to wait a few days, be’ezras Hashem. But in the meantime, this is just to get everyone excited…

Probably. Does it even make sense to continue with my software GroupUs or waste of time now?

Probably because @TELTECH sounds like its a lot more professional and has better rates then you at this point and this new software is coming out but you gotta decide if you want to break in to the industry at all then you gotta hurry up and open for people to start using it

Now its just a time game for who will open up first

Does anyone have info on SimpleSender.co?

I heard that they provide api keys if you contact costumer service fot the same pricing as on the website.

Just curious where do you see teltech is cheaper. I see an instance but want to know if we thinking the same.

Also I don’t see they lay out how a message is calculated in terms of fan out etc.

It seems to me that Teletech has already been in the industry for a year and they have been doing IVR and SMS already and are just adding now this GroupMe equivalent option so they do have experience

What is your goal with opening this company?

My goal is to make money even if nothing crazy.

Also something that I provide that I have not seen yet is someone can create groups and pay without Internet. The group is created thru text if the owner wishes and pay by phone system voice. No internet needed.

Then I would say to give up while your still ahead of the game or to release something already so that people will start with you before the other options open up and get your think advertised on all the big statuses and news sites like ywn and matziv etc

Thank you. Waiting for the campaign to be approved. That is the last step. Should be within few days max.

But Teletech is way ahead of you And they also have options to #start

I’d hate to rain on everyone’s parade, but my understanding is that TAG has approved a new Groupme Alternative app that will be allowed to be put on the Fig and Wonder, and they’re making it D-Pad compatible to fully work with Kyoceras. Seems that they’re having some sort of subscription model from premium which would mean a large group, but less than that would be free. This will largely take over anyone else’s ideas…

Welcome @Beta_alpha

Yes, that is what we were discussing when he asked if it was worth continuing

Who is the developer of the app, and are you involved with it somehow?

The issue with just making a new group chat app is how it will integrate with smartphones. Smartphones always natively supported SMS; that’s why GroupMe worked for everyone. Is TAG expecting every smartphone user to download a copy of their app to accommodate flip phones on group chats? Or that kosher phones will only be able to access kosher-exclusive chats?

So?

I don’t see why smartphone users shouldn’t download a software to communicate with others.

They have WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, and another app for group messaging with kosher phones.

I see nothing wrong with that.
