MobileWeb.be wins two Innovation Awards
MobileWeb.be has won two awards at the annual Multimedia Innovation Awards, organised by Mobistar. The PlazZza award was acknowledged to our car dealer locator application for Audi. Our campaign for Helpi was rewarded with the SMS Award.

MobileWeb.be developed the Audi Dealer Locator for D'Ieteren. For the first time in Belgium, it is possible to locate the nearest Audi dealer on the Mobile Internet. The application tracks the location of the mobile user through LBS technology. The addresses of the nearest car dealers are then displayed on a graphical map.

In the category 'SMS Award', the prize went to the emergency service of Helpi. Like the Audi application, the Helpi service uses LBS technology to locate the mobile phone user. This way, a person who is in an emergency situation, simply needs to push the pre-programmed Helpi-button on their mobile to inform the emergency services.

Tips & Tricks: price of a SMS message
Regulation of mobile services is getting more and more strict. MobileWeb.be helps you to configure your application conform the guidelines.
Always make sure you add the price in every text message. When a message costs € 1,50, then write: (1,5eur/sms). Don't forget to mention the price in all your advertising as well. When both the sent and received messages are premium messages, it should be: (1,5eur/sms sent/rec.). Check the GOF Guidelines here.
