Loving the simplicity of it all. I just need to text a number. No app to install and grant access to my phone, no website to go and sign up to with my facebook account. Nothing.
Just text a number and get what I want. It solves my problems by giving a path of least resistance to getting what I want. A company doing a similar thing was handing out fliers over the summer and they had an app to install. I thought the idea was cool but never got around to installing it.
I just added this phone number to my contact list for when I'm reading to use it.
- cmikec 12y agoThanks. Please let me know how you like using it. That's exactly what we were going for, and I hope that the experience persists throughout.
- gk1 12y agoJust want to chime in that I also think having a number to text is more convenient than using an app that I'd surely forget about within days.
- nileshtrivedi 12y agoYou do need to give them your credit card details though, which is like signing up.
- r00fus 12y agoYou interact briefly before you are asked to handover the CC details. That's a great draw.
- schoen 12y agoYes, thanks for not requiring people to install software to use your service -- something that's already caused me to skip trying several services. I look forward to trying this one when it opens up to the public again!
- dandanisaur 12y agoI feel like THIS is why Magic is interesting. Everyone (assuming) has SMS capabilities on their phone. I've seen this be used for banking, but nothing had the personal element? The ease of use is such a plus for this kind of thing.
