LOOPME - SingTel's answer to WhatsApp and Viber - might have been canned earlier this year, but the telco is plotting a comeback.
Yesterday, SingTel executive Allen Lew acknowledged that the cancellation of the LoopMe app was "a small setback". Even so, he vowed that SingTel would "come up with something that is just as good", stressing that this was part-and-parcel of coming up with new services.
It is unclear if this next product will land in WhatsApp territory again, but the telco had ambitions for the mobile messaging space for the best part of the year. LoopMe, an app that allowed free messaging and calling, was slated for launch in August before SingTel scrapped it.
