Our service presently will send you based on your preferences and criteria the type of coupon you need or asked for. I will suggest not to limit your saving. What if our system find you a deal from Fry, Circuitcity or XYZ store for 25% off 2 day only deal. Will you limit yourself to Bestbuy's 10% off. There are several stores out there that can beat or out perform the big brands we all know. Many companies will have a special sale on certain product e.g Ipod just to entice you enough to come to their store to make other purchases. A feature is coming in our next roll out that will also allow you to name a merchant. We are daily adding new companies with solid savings. Our goal is to save you time and money.

You still have to print them, pay for ink and paper which is average of 24 cents per print. Online coupons are easy to duplicate( good for the consumer but bad for the businesses) At text2store.com, we provide our coupons to on-the-go consumer’s phone. Nothing to print, just show it at the pizzeria or store. Above all you control the whole process. Not for everyone. People who do not have time searching and clipping coupons or want to spend more time with their family. The idea to go search coupons online when you need one is fine.

Thanks for your comments. I understand what you are saying about saving time and environment, and I am with you on that. I am more of an impulsive buyer and even though I use coupons and discounts a lot, what Google does about it makes more sense to me http://probargainhunter.com/2006/11/03/those-valpak-coupons-you-usually-trash/ Nevertheless I believe your service has a potential. Unfortunately SMS is not as popular in the US as it is in Europe hence the adoption rate is going to be slow. Hi Ola! Thanks for your comments.

As per why should you recieve a text message with a coupon specific to what you are looking for. Think about all those newspaper coupons sent to your house that you have no use for. You wonder if the company only know which coupon you want instead of sending you junk that clogs your gabbage container. Imagine, when you want to make a purchase at the store but the coupon for the deal you forgot to bring it because you left it on the counter table. Think of when you have to spend several hours online searching for a deal on things you want to buy? . What if you don't have to spend the time you should be spending with your family on the computer looking for deals. These problems are what we've found a solution for. What if you can get a big saving on your restaurant meal and purchases ,a lot of convenience and saving on time and you control the process. it makes sense to not have to clip coupons anymore but have it with you all the time and you are in control of the whole process of wht you get. You only pay few cents when you receive a text or $5.99 or less for 200 text a month with a plan( depending on the phone carrier). That comes to less than 1 cent. About merchants, we have signed up several businesses in Chicago and many are joining daily from various parts of the country( thank you for helping to get the word out). We have over 500 coupons and best offers in the system before we launched and are adding new ones daily. About your confirmation code. As stated in the sign up. You should get a confirmation code( one by text message and the other by e-mail) you cannot sign on to request a coupon until the confirmation code is added in the confirmation code box. This is to ensure you are the actual owner of the phone. So if the phone is not with you when you signed up. you will unable to complete the process. I like to look into why you did not receive a confirmation code? I did check the report and it shows everyone who signed up yesterday go a confirmation.
