CellBazaar is a mobile phone market place that can be accessed via SMS, WAP, or the internet. From www.cellbazaar.com:
SMS (Short Message Service) has been phenomenally popular since its introduction in Bangladesh. From messages between friends to cricket scores to news updates. CellBazaar leverages the simple, widespread power of SMS to bring the market to your phone. By sending simple text messages to 3838, you can post items for sale, look for items to buy, and obtain current market prices of products or services.
WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) is the next generation of mobile phone technology. 12% of all mobile sets in Bangladesh are already WAP-enabled, and this number is growing rapidly. The majority of newer phones coming into the market are WAP-enabled. WAP provides an even faster experience as you browse a simple graphic menu to access the entire marketplace.
As a supplement to the core mobile-based technology, CellBazaar has also created a internet version of the market. Users post items for sale via mobile phones, but anyone with internet access can also browse the market and find items for sale. They can then complete the final stages of the transaction using a mobile phone. This platform also makes the local mobile-based market available to an international audience.
