Online SMS service provider TextMagic has selected mobile messaging operator TynTec to power its messaging services. Under the deal, TynTec will provide TextMagic with incoming and outgoing SMS messaging to underpin its online SMS communications service.
TextMagic will be using TynTec for the two parts of its services. When users send a message via TextMagic's online, API or email SMS interfaces, TynTec's SMS sending (MT) capabilities will power the communication. By using TynTec in this way, TextMagic can take advantage of its local time stamping capabilities, meaning the recipients of messages will always have accurate local time stamps on their received messages. TextMagic will also use a TynTec-hosted long number to manage incoming reply messages. As well as offering high-reliability in message receipt, this TynTec service will give TextMagic the ability to use memorable and marketable numbers.
By deploying TynTec's services at the heart of its products, TextMagic will be able to take advantage of the company's significant geographical reach, covering 400 networks in 160 countries. In addition, TynTec's promise of high speed (under 15s) messaging transmission will further enhance TextMagic's offering to its customers. TextMagic also takes advantage of a real-time Mobile Number Portability check and reliable delivery notifications.
