CelebrityTextChat connects celebrities and fans through their mobile phones

logost.jpg CelebrityTextChat is a new SMS or "text messaging" service from AmericanIDC and Smart Entertainment that allows celebrities to be in direct contact with their fans through their mobile phones. [via PDA Tracker via Ypulse ].

The service is very simple to use: Say for example Bon Jovi is playing at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. 50,000 people enter the arena, and Bon Jovi asks them to sign in by sending the message BON JOVI to the number 76278. 30% of the arena responds to Bon Jovi's request, and within minutes, Bon Jovi has 15,000 loyal fans who have opted-in to his fan club.
