Brisbane, Queensland, Australia December 15, 2006. Instead of sending out the standard Christmas card greeting, RedOxygen is encouraging its global customer base to text (SMS) their family, friends and colleagues with RedOxygen's Outlook SMS and Notes SMS software clients. Even if they are away from their computers on Christmas, they can still schedule the SMS text message to be received by an Aunt in Boston or a buddy in Bangkok. All revenue generated on Christmas day will be donated to Oxfam Australia. "We chose Oxfam because of its many global causes from feeding AIDS orphans to helping fair trade. SMS is a technology that brings the world together, and we are apart of that circle." Tom Sheahan, CEO, RedOxygen.
