Mobile 365 Moved 8.4 billion SMS and MMS in Q1 2006

Mobile 365 relayed 8.4 billion mobile messages in the first quarter of 2006, covering both the short messaging service (SMS) and multimedia messaging service (MMS). This number is a 40% year-over-year increase.

In 2005, the company delivered more than 25 billion messages, a rate of more than 2 billion messages monthly.

Mobile 365 delivers mobile content, including wallpaper, ringtones, games, and applications on behalf of major global brands, and delivers cross-operator SMS and MMS messages around the world.

"Mobile 365 continues to experience tremendous traffic growth around the world," said Gregory Dunn, Vice President of the Americas for Mobile 365. "We have especially seen a dramatic rise in MMS volume since we pioneered MMS interoperability. We expect, with our interoperability service and the high adoption rate of MMS-capable handsets by U.S. consumers, we will continue to see explosive MMS traffic growth and the rise of new MMS-focused applications and services."
