Flirting & Dating Go Mobile
Back in 2006—when the US had nearly broken the record of selling 1 billion mobile phones in a single year, and 1 in 5 consumers were already becoming accustomed to surfing the Internet through their cell—PhoneFling became the first mobile dating service in the United States. As the first WAP-enabled dating site, PhoneFling gave millions of consumers un-tethered freedom to view other singles’ profiles on-the-go from the convenience of any mobile device. Plus, users could now flirt anytime, anywhere with someone they just discovered on PhoneFling, and meet them for a date at the spur-of-the-moment. Adding to their mobile-only offering, PhoneFling Web launched its Web site in July 2009 and has seen traffic grow more than 120% monthly.

How popular is mobile dating?
As sales of smartphones skyrocket and consumers come to rely on them as natural extensions of their home computer for broadband access, the interest in mobile dating grows exponentially, too. In fact, Juniper Research predicted in January 2009 that the mobile dating market would grow to $1.4B by 2013.
