Multiplied Media Partners with PT BIMA to Deliver Full Mobile Email Functionality in Indonesia

Calgary, CANADA and Jakarta, INDONESIA—May 11, 2010—Multiplied Media Corporation ("Multiplied" or the "Company") (TSX:V MMC), is pleased to announce that an agreement has been signed with PT BIMA of Indonesia to resell the Company’s email to SMS product, MyInBoxNow, to mobile network operators in Indonesia. PT BIMA has signed an agreement with a mobile operator in Indonesia and is anticipating the launch of MyInBoxNow in 2010.

MyInBoxNow, a technology and service of newly acquired UnoMobi Inc., is a push email to SMS service that allows users to read, compose, reply and forward email messages using their own SMS-capable mobile phones.

Key features of the service include:

  • Clientless email to SMS solution for basic mobile phones
  • Full email functionality including compose, read, reply, forward, delete, etc.
  • Access to account management commands including stop, resume, list, filter, block, etc.
  • Support for up to five POP3, IMAP4 or Webmail mailboxes per device

Multiplied will provide the hosted technology to PT BIMA for resale to mobile network operators in Indonesia under a sliding scale revenue share agreement, based upon the number of messages per month.

"The cell phone market in Indonesia will greatly benefit from a service such as MyInBoxNow," said R. Dedy Darojatun, President and Director of PT BIMA. "High costs are often associated with full email functionality such as message compose and reply, and receipt, viewing and sending of attachments due to the cost of the smartphone as well as data costs. The smartphone-like capabilities that MyInBoxNow will provide to basic mobile handsets will revolutionize the way Indonesians communicate by providing these features without incurring the large costs or the need for a smartphone and data plan."

"We are pleased to be working with PT BIMA to bring MyInBoxNow to the Indonesian market," said Andrew Osis, CEO, Multiplied Media. "PT BIMA offers valuable insight and relationships within the mobile network operator ecosystem and we are confident of their abilities to successfully introduce the MyInBoxNow application to this market."
