Mobile365 says it has expanded its cross-technology two-way SMS footprint into North Asia after China Mobile and NTT DoCoMo selected the company to provide international SMS services.
With the agreements, mobile subscribers of China Mobile and DoCoMo can send and receive text messages to over 1.7 billion mobile subscribers of 700 cellcos around the world, which are connected via an IP and C7 network operated by Mobile365, which delivers over 3.5 billion messages per month.
The move allows the two mobile operators to connect to more than 250 direct two-way SMS destinations without the burden of managing the ever-growing inter-connectivity and operational costs associated with establishing hundreds of individual operator agreements, Mobile365 said.
