Cellfire - A Mobile App that Saves you Money


Finally an application that you can download to your phone that actually saves you money! We've been tracking a San Jose based technology company, Cellfire since they launched their service last summer. I thought it was a great idea when I first heard about the business and based on the recent news it appears that mobile consumers are finding a lot of value in the service as well.

For those of you that aren't familiar with the service, Cellfire is a mobile coupon service that gives you the best deals, instantly, right on your cell phone. Cellfire enables savvy shoppers and budget-conscious consumers to save money when they are dining out, shopping, or just having fun. Users have their own set of discounts and offers specific to their geographic locations. Users simply click on the coupon they want to use and show it to the store sales person for redemption. Cellfire users never need to clip paper coupons.

Check out a Flash demo of the service here.

Cellfire offers coupons from popular retailers including Hollywood Video, Arby's, Domino's Pizza, T.G.I. Friday's, Peet's Coffee, 1-800-flowers.com, EMI Music, North Beach Pizza, Quiznos, and more. New merchants and coupons are continually available. If you check out the ticker on their homepage, Cellfire's total delivered savings to consumers to date is over $20 million!

The Cellfire service is a great mobile application and I highly recommend that you try it out by signing up here.
