Official 2012 Sydney New Years Eve App – 50 FREE MIDNIGHT SMS and Chance to MSG The Bridge

280

Just thought i'd post this really nice app I've been working on with Telstra for the past year or so. It has some pretty great features, and I'm a long time user of OzBargains, so I thought I'd post it here for everyone to share aswell.

This is the official SNYE 2012 Mobile App. Some of the features include:

TELSTRA MIDNIGHT MESSAGES ON NYE
Enter texts early and let us send up to 50 FREE SMS messages to family and friends for you – that way you don’t have to worry about sending them at midnight.

TELSTRA COLOUR
Take part in one of the world’s largest interactive NYE light shows. At 10:15PM, 11:00PM, 11:30PM and 11:45PM, the app will automatically sync with a colourful lightshow, as well as other smartphones around the Harbour, to create an amazing display of colour. (We're going for a world record!)

TELSTRA MESSAGE THE BRIDGE
Your chance to write one of 1,600 messages projected onto the Sydney Harbour Bridge pylons during the night. (you can win prizes on the FB App version here http://www.facebook.com/Telstra/app_169775443146082)

FIND HOT SPOTS
Discover the best places to watch the 9PM Family Fireworks and Midnight Fireworks around Sydney Harbour.

You can download it both for iOS and Android:

This has been my baby for the past year! If it should be moved, feel free to move it to the forums.

I hope everyone likes it :).

    • It's not Telstra only. It's free for any network.

  • Always free. More like an ad.

  • look like ad why not make it whole is it like there mobile phone network.

    • It's for any network. Telstra just sponsored it.

    Congrats on a beautiful app, and thanks for posting it- I remember sending SMS on NYE past and getting replies 4hrs later, and this looks like it will help clear the network.

    • So what time will the text messages be sent?

      • Midnight! Closes off at 6pm tonight!

        • so thousands of text messages will be sent automatically at midnight? How is this going to help clear the network?

  • I can't get the app to work.
    I create a new message, press the plus button to select a contact, select a contact and then I get an error message saying '[Contact Name] does not have any valid phone numbers'. I thought at first maybe contacts needed to be in +61 format but this did not work either.
    Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

  • Massive FAIL. All my friends received was a blank message with " - Connected by Telstra" on the end.
