PortaPlay
PortaPlay is a mobile marketing company, which specializes in social driven mobile games which are virally distributed. The main product is a series of mobile multiplayer games, which are free to download and is financed by sponsors / ingame advertisement. The games are peer-2-peer turn-based multiplayer games, which means that a user can play with whoever they like, when ever they like and where they like. To make this possible, PortaPlay has developed a special SMS-technology, which permits our games to transmit data directly between phones in special SMS’es (without using a server). The SMS’es makes it possible to play without use of GPRS and furthermore they can activate the program on the receiving users phone.
