Global provider of SMS service

Carlos Tabora · 24th Mar 2012, 02:22 AM

Is there a global service provider that can provide you with a phone number or short code that will work in almost any country? I know of and use Twilio and I think that it's a great service, but I think that it works primarily in the U.S. and Canada.

I'd like to have one short code that I could brand globally.

Any ideas?

The thing is, you see, a shortcode has to be approved by the mobile carriers of the country. So you would need to find a company that would have done this for every country.

OK thanks. If there's currently not a company that takes care of doing it for you in each country, there should be. I would think there would be a huge opportunity for it within the next 2-5 years.
