CHANTILLY, Va., Oct. 18 /PRNewswire/ — Mobile 365, the global leader in the delivery of mobile messaging and data services, continues to grow its Person-to-Person business by signing an additional 15 leading African operators in the last twelve months.
The agreements cover numerous countries including the Ivory Coast, Niger, Zambia, Zanzibar, Ghana, Sierra Leone, Guinea, Rwanda, Somalia, and Nigeria, and enable 15 million mobile subscribers to send and receive text messages from most countries around the world.
When added to the subscribers already connected — through previous Mobile 365 operator agreements — Mobile 365 today connects more than 100 million Africans to the global mobile community.
“The agreements open up an important SMS revenue stream for African operators and expand SMS services for their subscribers,” said Howard Stevens, Mobile 365 Vice President, EMEA. “With more than 75 signed operators on the continent, Africa plays an important role in extending Mobile 365′s global reach.”
