Bulk Text Messages Cover Over 700 Carriers From Just 1.1p Per Message
BIRMINGHAM, England, April 14, 2010 - Global micro-billing, communications and mobile enablement specialist,
Oxygen8 Communications www.oxygen8.com/ today announces its new SMS
bulk rates (www.oxygen8.com/mobile-enablement/bulk-text-and-sms) for
UK media companies and corporates who are looking to send bulk text
(www.oxygen8.com/mobile-enablement/bulk-text-and-sms) messages in
order to maximise revenues from mobile marketing activities internationally.
Gary Corbett, Commercial Director at Oxygen8 Communications, says, "As
bulk volumes continue to soar we have seen customers increasingly sending
bulk text (www.oxygen8.com/news/int-bulk-route) messages globally. As
a result pricing for wholesale international SMS continues to decrease,
creating new business opportunities for any company that is looking to expand
their international business activities."
Corbett continues, "The new SMS bulk rates are accompanied by the
functionality of the Oxygen8 Mobile platform, which is very scalable and is
able to handle hundreds of messages per second and hundreds of connections,
enabling customers to increase billing collections and bottom-line profits by
utilising bulk text messages. This means that companies can be managing
sophisticated international campaigns in just minutes, whilst resellers are
able to build applications and standalone business based on the capabilities
of the platform."
Key features of the Oxygen8 Mobile platform include: - Creation of interactive services - Integration via simple APIs - Scheduled sends - Advanced scheduling - managing rate and capacity of sends - Dynamic headers - Dashboard reporting
Corbett concludes, "We want our customers to be able to grow
their business quickly and easily either within their domestic markets or
across the globe. In today's world that means having a resilient platform but
with the flexibility that is required to adapt services to the increasingly
sophisticated and complex way that consumers interact with new media. With
the Oxygen8 platform, accompanied by our new SMS bulk rates, this becomes
possible."
Oxygen8 Communications has set a target of growing 60% in the next two
years, building on its strong performance in 2009. Turnover in the last six
months of 2009 was 20% up on the previous year. Whilst core markets such as
the UK have seen an increase of 10%, emerging markets, particularly in
Africa, are seeing triple digit growth.
