IRVING, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- WebSafety, Inc. (OTCBB: WBSI), the leading provider of mobile and Internet safety technologies, today announced the company’s CellSafety mobile application, which disables texting and emailing in a moving vehicle, has increased its compatibility to more than 60 smart phones and counting in the United States and has expanded the CellSafety application to work on the Bell Mobility (TMX: BCE-T), Rogers Wireless (NYSE: RCI) and Telus (NYSE: TU) networks in Canada.
CellSafety uses proprietary technology to electronically detect when a car is moving at speeds above 10 mph and prohibits the driver’s ability to send or read text and email messages or utilize the phone web browser. CellSafety is the only application that works on all four major wireless carriers and works with the Android, Blackberry and Symbian wireless operating systems, which together, represent more than 54 percent of the U.S. smart phone market.
