What is the Open Platform?

The 4INFO Open Platform enables developers, content providers, and individuals to utilize 4INFO short code and platforms to deliver mobile content and alerts services. Using 4INFO's web-based forms and tools, anyone can quickly and easily setup a keyword that triggers the retrieval of the appropriate data from a content feed on your existing web server. Users can receive your content by texting this keyword (eg "myservice") or keyword + search term (eg "myservice chicago") to 4INFO (44636). 4INFO then translates the SMS text message into a web application request, takes the result, and translates it back into SMS, allowing you to easily setup and maintain mobile distribution of your information and content.

What can I do?

We provide the basics and then you can let your imagination run wild. If you're skilled at designing web applications, then you can really push the limits! Some basic functionality:
