“ArrivedOK: now there’s a piece of clever telecoms technology. Sometimes there arrives a perfect solution to a real problem.” – Pat Phelan, Ireland.

Andy Abramson, Del Mar, CA: “A very imaginative service… As a global nomad this kind of service is ideal for me, especially with my family and colleagues. I regularly text the word “landed” when I touch down using either SMS or the built in Blackberry Messenger to those on my Messenger Buddy List internally… I imagine the service will be very useful to the frequent flier types who have to be working anywhere at any time. From my perspective, ArrivedOk will cut down on a task that for some can be time consuming or just challenging. They smartly have also included email as a notification mechanism.”

“You’re really a bit surprised nobody thought of this before.” – David Sims, TMCnet, at his article about ArrivedOK.

“See, this way, your personal arrival is noted instead of flight status in general, so when you oversleep your nine-hour Dubai layover, or miss your connecting flight in Heathrow, you don’t have anybody tapping their toes at the airport for hours while you’re still over the Atlantic Ocean. Not that that’s happened to this reporter either, no siree. No personal experience there, spending two hours traveling out to the Istanbul Airport, waiting three hours and returning home empty-handed only to have to go back later that night.”

“If you’re tired of picking up the phone and calling half a dozen people every time you land in a new city to let them know you arrived OK, you might want to check out a new service called… ArrivedOK.” – Downloadsquad.com

“As passengers, once we’ve safely arrived at our destination, we power up our Blackberries and iPhones to let our loved ones know that the flight is over… Whether we make a call, send a text, update our Facebook status or “tweet” it on Twitter, we feel compelled to let our friends and family know we arrived OK… But the next time I fly, I won’t be calling my mom, boyfriend or roommate to let them know I’m safely sitting on the tarmac waiting to access the overhead compartment. Because next time I’m going to use ArrivedOK.”- Vacationplanning.net: Flight Tracker Cleared for Takeoff.

“ArrivedOK is a clever service that texts loved ones when you land at your destination and turn on your phone. It would be quite useful as an everyday shorter-journey service too. My mother-in-law-to-be always forgets to text us when she arrives home in Carlow from Waterford.” – Paul M. Watson, Waterford, Ireland.

“Touch down in another country, and it’s likely the first thing you’ll want to do is let friends and famly know you’ve reached your destination safe and sound. But dialing direct means those dastardly international roaming rates kick in… This kind of traveler dilemma is what makes us especially intrigued by ArrivedOK… Along with the convenience of being able to alert multiple people at once, the app means you’re bypassing the hefty international charges you’d incur for voice, text and email services via your cell phone while traveling abroad.” – lorraine @ travelpost.com: Skip International Roaming Rates with ArrivedOK Phone App.

“Interesting new service called ArrivedOK. It works in a unique way…” – Ronen Halevy via berryreview.com

“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.”

For those who’s not familiar with ArrivedOK application, it is about notifying others about your arrival to airports worldwide. It works by detecting a subscriber’s mobile phone in a destination GSM network when the user turns it on after the landing. When the passenger’s cell phone is tracked in the destination airport, ArrivedOK instantly sends text or email messages to the list of recipients the subscriber created online and/or posts them to user’s weblog. Including TWITTER!

Suppose, you fly from Washington, DC to Tucson, Arizona, on the 15th of March. So you just fill in the mobile number of your friend in Washington whom you want to be notified by SMS, and add a short message for her. You can also create another group of recipients consisting of one friend and one colleague in Tucson and send them a completely different message using email in addition to SMS. (se the short intro video here)

You can have even more fun by alerting your followers on Twitter! You just need to go your Profile | My Blogs and add Twitter to the list of your blogging services (Blogspot and LiveJournal are also available).

Then you check ‘Post to Twitter’ checkbox when creating your message – and it will appear in your blog right at the moment when you turn on your phone upon your arrival. Like that:

I arrivedOK to Tucson, AZ. See you soon!
