Cellfire mobile coupons go national today

Coupons by mobile phone service Cellfire went nationwide for Cingular users yesterday, reports TechCrunch, following tests in California where coupons redeemed at a rate of almost 20%, with some surpassing that mark.

"The number of participating merchants is small right now (7 total, including Hollywood video) but with a success rate like that you know more companies are going to be interested."
