Historical Campaigns

What 2MyMob Hosted

2MyMob provided short-URL mobile subsites for handset launches and retail brands before responsive web was standard.

HTC Handset Teaser

HTC 4G teaser — SMS signup at m.us.2mymob.com/htc (CES 2011).

Oroton Retail Campaign

Oroton luxury retail mobile landing pages on m.2mymob.com.

US Banner Units

Mobile banner units for US handset campaigns.

m.net Connection

Press linked the platform to Australian mobile marketing firm m.net.

Why It Mattered

Live Campaigns Before App Stores Dominated

Before responsive design was standard, brands needed dedicated mobile subsites for handset launches and retail promotions. 2MyMob hosted those pages on short URLs like m.2mymob.com and m.us.2mymob.com — infrastructure for campaigns, not the handset maker or retailer.

This site preserves that URL structure and historical context for researchers tracing backlinks, press coverage, and early smartphone marketing.

HTC Thunderbolt Teaser

December 2010: HTC Linked Here From HTC.com

Engadget and Phandroid covered the SMS signup flow; the phone became the HTC Thunderbolt on Verizon LTE.

Platform Role

Campaign Hosting, Not Handset Sales

Original paths like index.jsp and signup.jsp are restored as archival pages. They document how handset brands and retailers routed mobile traffic through a third-party hosting platform — a common pattern in the late 2000s before app stores dominated distribution.

The restored pages summarize what each URL did; they do not accept signups or process transactions.

“In December 2010, HTC linked m.us.2mymob.com/htc from HTC.com for a 4G handset teaser — press later identified it as the Thunderbolt on Verizon LTE.”

Not the Former Operator

Do not submit personal data to restored signup.jsp pages — they are historical references only. Campaign metrics, subscriber counts, and operator contact details from the original era are not reproduced here.

Q: What was 2MyMob?

A: An Australian mobile marketing hosting platform (~2007–2011) used for handset teasers, luxury retail landing pages, and banner units on m.2mymob.com and m.us.2mymob.com. This site is an independent archival reference — not the former operator.

Q: Which campaigns are documented here?

A: The HTC 4G teaser (m.us.2mymob.com/htc), Oroton luxury retail pages (m.2mymob.com/oroton), and US mobile banner units (m.us.2mymob.com/banners). Each restored path links to an archival summary of what that URL once hosted.

Q: Who is this guide for?

A: Researchers, journalists, SEO recovery teams, and anyone tracing early smartphone marketing URLs or inbound links to 2mymob.com subsite paths.

A: On the restored subsite paths linked from this guide — for example /m.us/htc/, /m/oroton/, and /m.us/banners/. Press citations (Engadget, Phandroid) are summarized on those pages.
