“Thumbs” Everywhere Breathe a Sigh of Relief
GoDaddy.com® has announced a new enhancement to its Web-based email product—short message service (SMS) integration, also called text-messaging service. The new feature lets subscribers to GoDaddy.com’s Web-based email instantly send text messages, as well as standard email. Plus, official Go Daddy ringtones are also available, free—for everyone.

“Please keep that strap on!”
Sound familiar? It’s one of several ringtones pulled from legendary GoDaddy.com television commercials. Other ringtones include “GoDaddy-esque” quotes and excerpts from CEO and founder Bob Parsons’ radio show, Life Online™.

With the texting feature in GoDaddy.com’s Webmail, moms can instantly send reminder emails to kids and text them at the same time so they don’t forget homework. Sports fans can catch the latest scores and chide their friends who are at the game. All of this from your desktop—which means no clumsy thumbing in messages on your wireless phone anymore.

Here’s how it works: GoDaddy.com customers can access their Web-based email accounts as they always have, but now a drop-down menu gives an option to select email only, text message only or both. A simple cell phone field in the user’s address book drives the feature. In addition, GoDaddy.com includes a function that allows users to keep within the 160 character limit required by cell phone carriers for text messages. “People need to stay in touch. The easier and more fun we can make that experience, the better,” Parsons said.
