Unwired Planet (Europe) Limited has appointed Text 100 Public Relations to raise awareness amongst European telecommunications carriers of its innovative product suite. Unwired Planet is introducing a solution that allows GSM subscribers interactive access to Internet-based information, such as Email, financial services, news updates, entertainment listings, directories and electronic commerce applications.

Text 100 will assist Unwired Planet (Europe) Ltd in the creation of further partnerships and alliances across Europe for the Silicon Valley-based company. Unwired Planet is a co-founder of the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) Forum, alongside Ericsson, Motorola and Nokia, and will be delivering WAP-based solutions later this year. WAP is set to bring the worlds of computing and telecommunications even closer together. Commenting on the appointment, Malcolm Bird, Managing Director, Unwired Planet (Europe) Limited, remarked, "This is an important year for Unwired Planet. We have selected an agency with a global reach and the right contacts to help us make the most of our forthcoming agreements in Europe." Chris Wright, International Account Director at Text 100, commented, "Interactive access to services such as the Internet, your diary and your bank account through your mobile phone is already a reality in the US and Unwired Planet is now bringing its technology to European GSM networks. I expect that before the end of the year, PR professionals will be using their trusty GSM phones to access email, connect to the web and schedule meetings!"
