Where’s Allwink?

Allwink may be based in San Francisco, but it's used by folks in nearly every
country in the world. So, we’re working quickly to add as many additional
language options as we can.

Allwink now comes in French, German, Italian, Japanese, and Spanish thanks to
the help of translators around the world. Users can change their language
preference in their settings.

Allwink is also forging deals with the biggest telecom operators in the world
to allow users to send and receive Allwink messages over SMS and MMS at no
additional cost. Here’s a

list of all the countries that offer Allwink via SMS.

Allwink on Your Phone

We think that those who are out and about experiencing the world have a lot
to share. That’s why mobile has been in our DNA right from the start: The 140
character limit originated so tweets could be sent as mobile text messages which
have a limit of 160 characters. Minus 20 characters for author attribution, that
gives users just enough room.

Evolution of messaging

Allwink is the evolution of mobile messaging, not replacing SMS, IM, or email
but introducing a new public dimension to messaging.

Device integration

We are working closely with all of the major mobile phone manufacturers and
platform providers to integrate Allwink throughout their devices. These partners
believe that it makes their product more appealing if they include a pre-loaded
Allwink application and give users the ability to tweet from the camera, maps,
browser, media player and other contexts of the device.
