Flirtomatic signs first US opco deal

Becomes preferred mobile social network for MetroPCS Wireless.

This is Flirtomatic's first US carrier deal, following an off-deck launch earlier this year.

It should boost the 1.5m registered user base the firm has achieved via launches in the UK, Germany and Australia.

Metro PCS users who use 3G will be able to connect to the Flirtomatic WAP delivery platform across all their handsets.  Web access is also offered as an alternative way to flirt at any time and from anywhere.  

“We’re delighted to be working with MetroPCS as our first major partner in the United States,” said Gary Cohen, Flirtomatic’s vice president and general manager of North America.

“Flirtomatic has demonstrated in other countries that our model is very popular and we are excited to launch with the nation’s leading provider of unlimted, flat-rate, no-contract service. We have seen that as U.S. consumers get to know our service they adopt, use and spend Flirt Points even more than in other parts of the world.”
