Mig33
was released in December of 2005 as the first global mobile Internet
community and has quickly spread around the world. With millions of
customers in more than 200 countries, the service has taken the world
by storm, spreading on the strength of user recommendations, bringing
the power of Internet to anyone with a mobile phone.
The concept
for mig33 originated in a library coffee shop, between founders Steven
Goh and Mei Lin Ng. The two sat down with a blank piece of paper and a
goal to figure out a way for teens to send text messages as much as
they wanted, without breaking the bank. Ideas brewed on that paper
which led to a business proposal and eventually to mig33.
The
company was founded on the belief that the rise of VoIP and wireless
technologies are redefining the way people connect and find community.
mig33 takes advantage of the shift in the telecommunications industry
from managing and tariffing the network, to delivering customer
services and value. In this second age of the Internet, there are new
opportunities to create value propositions that deliver customer and
shareholder value.
Today, mig33 has opened the power of the
Internet to the global mobile community. It's more than just surfing
the Web - mig33 brings all the communications power of the PC right to
the palm of the hand.
