T-Mobile Is Offering a Unique Mobile Dating Service

• The new "Matchmaker" service offers mobile dating
• The service can be used by SMS or wap
• "Matchmaker" guarantees users anonymity - nicknames are used for the communication

Prague, 15 May 2002 - RadioMobil today started offering its clients a new service called "Matchmaker". The service allows all T-Mobile mobile phone users to find a perfect match by SMS or wap. With "Matchmaker", nicknames are used for the communication, which guarantees users a complete anonymity.

"The new Matchmaker service is able to look up a person or persons that best match the customer's preferences. Then it depends on the user whether he or she contacts the looked-up person or not. It is not possible to view the person's phone number and real name as the participants use nicknames for the communication," says Jiri Hajek, press spokesman for RadioMobil.

Description of the Service
A customer who wants to make use of the service has to provide his or her description (profile) on the basis of which he or she will be included the database. Subsequently the customer defines the profile of the person he or she wants to meet. Based on the prescribed parameters (gender, age, hair colour, region etc.) inserted in a pre-defined format, the system will look up records matching the customer's requirements. These data are sent to the user's mobile phone within a few seconds. The user can communicate with the selected person by SMS or WAP under a nickname. It is possible to restrict the delivery of messages from a particular nickname or change one's own nickname.

Using the service by SMS
Matchmaker can be used by SMS messages sent to 5005. This way customers register in the service, select their nickname and profile and a profile of the person to be looked up. An unlimited number of nicknames can be selected for one phone number and simply switch between them. A Matchmaker text message must always start with the keyword DH and must contain pre-defined commands, parameters and variables. A complete list can be found at www.click.cz in the ClickFun section.

Using the service via WAP
Matchmaker is also available via ClickW@P, the ClickFun section. The wap structure offers a clearly arranged menu in which the user defines the required parameters by selecting the respective options and Matchmaker will look up the particular profile in the database. Each wap page contains a context help which explains the respective terms and features.
