CallMyName, a service for mobile communication that uses personal and corporate names instead of dialing cellular phone numbers, was launched in Bulgaria on June 1 amid great interest by clients, the company announced on Wednesday.
By opting for CMN any company can use its name as a number, which is the reason why companies are in a hurry to register their name first so that they may prevent the risk of finding it already booked.
In the first hours after the launch a number of the so-called "niche words" – such as pizza, taxi, bank, apartment - proved to be the most popular among clients, the company said.
Public institutions such as hospitals, schools, municipalities and others have the option to get a registered name free of charge.
Using CMN is free of charge and possible from any mobile device with internet connection. Moreover Call My Name will provide Android and IPhone applications, which will be free to download from its site. The service is useful for both corporate and private clients.
What has been described by the company as a revolutionary service brings together the name of each subscriber with telephone number, website, Facebook profile and Skype name. Each of the registered names is always accessible from anywhere.
CMN aims to change the calling habits of users in Bulgaria and around the world in cellular phone dialing and simplify communication. CMN provides business representatives with opportunity to promote their brand and services and be always available to their customers.
