According to a post on Facebook, Tucows.com is launching a new mobile service called Ting

“”Tucows goes mobile! super excited about http://ting.com/. let me know if you want to get into the beta or have any questions. I love the early feedback. if suggests this could be a game changer!” said CEO Elliot Noss.

The page on Ting.com says:

“We think there are a lot of things about mobile service that don’t make sense.

Ting is a new mobile service planning to change that.”

Ting.com already has a blog up and running:

“2011 we’re about to launch Ting. We feel that a lot of what people are forced to put up with from mobile service providers just doesn’t make sense. It’s too complicated, too opaque, too adversarial, too expensive and frankly too inhuman.”

“We think we can change that.

“We want Ting to be a mobile service that makes sense.

“We’ve spent the last year or so thinking about what that means. “A mobile service that makes sense”.

“We’ve talked to a lot of people and watched the industry struggle with the rapid move to phones as computers with all the complexity that entails. There seems to be an opportunity – let’s be honest – a LOT of opportunity – for someone from outside the mobile service industry to come in and make sense of all this. To look at providing people with a simple, useful mobile service the way an Internet company would approach it rather than how the telecom giants have done it.

“Over the coming weeks we’ll be sharing more about our vision for Ting. We’ll let you know what we came up with when we started thinking about “mobile service that makes sense” and we’ll ask you for your insights. What do you think Ting should tackle? What drives you crazy? What just doesn’t make sense for you?

“You can sign up to get notifications about Ting and if you’re really keen you can ask to join our closed private beta. You can also follow us on Twitter (we’re @tingFTW).”

Sounds interesting I just signed up for the Beta program and let you know more as it rolls out.
