CHARLOTTE, North Carolina, November 25, 2005:
To help consumers find the best deals on Black Friday, today UpSNAP Inc., (OTC Bulletin Board: UPSN) launched a free price comparison shopping service for cell phones that allows users to quickly discover whether the price charged by the store is the lowest available. |
|
| Black Friday is the most intense shopping day of the year with millions of people lining up outside their local Macy's and Best Buy stores just to get the first crack at the newest Robosapien or Xbox 360. But how do consumers know that they are getting the best price on that Motorola RAZR phone? This has long been the dilemma of shoppers everywhere, especially on the day following Thanksgiving when retailers supposedly have their best sale prices. |
|
| By simply typing the letter "P" followed by the name of the product as a text message and sending it to the number 2SNAP (27627), anyone can discover the lowest available price immediately; giving consumers the convenience of being able to make a purchase decision in the store. For example, when deciding whether to buy a Sony T5 digital camera, the user text messages "p sony t5" to the number 27627 and instantly receives the lowest prices -- more details at http://upsnap.com/price_shop.htm. |

| "The holidays may be a time for giving, but they are also a time for saving," said UpSNAP CEO Tony Philipp. "With our new service shoppers can buy confidently, knowing that the prices they are paying are the lowest available." |
|
| UpSNAP's price comparison engine is powered by PriceRunner.com, which is ranked #1 by PC World magazine for price, features, performance, and design/usability. Price comparison is one of many services that complement's UpSNAP's core free 411 directory assistance. |
