News and chat about and around ArrivedOK - the Personal Flight Arrival Tracker and mobile tool for travelers like you to instantly notify your friends and family when you arrive at airports worldwide
Have you noticed ArrivedOK in New York Times? It was on the front page!
Well, it was a while ago. And it was a video. Actually it was a part of a video. And the topic was “What is wrong with mobile carriers”. As asked for by David Pogue.
He twitted asking to create a 9 second video to say what’s wrong with mobile carriers. I did 9 secs. It WAS hard. You can’t develop a meaningful line! And I wanted to mention that we have developed something to COUNTER the exuberant roaming charges that I wanted to attack. ArrivedOK.

“When you’re traveling domestically, it’s easy to let people know you’ve arrived, but when flying abroad, what with the time difference and the roaming charges on your cell phone, it can be tricky. ArrivedOK lets you automatically tell the home team that you’ve landed, via text or email. Register your flight, along with the destination airport, estimated arrival time, along with any phone numbers or email addresses to which you’d like to send a notification. The ArrivedOK system tracks your cell phone and when you turn it on after landing it instantly sends “Arrived OK” messages to people on your list. If you become one of the beta testers now, you get a one-year free subscription.”
