Clickatell Works with Leading Developers Worldwide

Clickatell announces its work with leading developers worldwide including iProgram, 123 Consultants Ltd, Mobilitrix, SMSengine and more. These developers have chosen to work with Clickatell for its enterprise-grade quality, widest global network coverage, high levels of quality of service, and easy to implement mobile services.

As cell phones fast become the dominant device for commercial transactions and communications, leading developers are integrating mobile messaging solutions into a wide variety of enterprise applications. Given the sheer ubiquity of mobile phone use across the world, enterprises are looking for ways to reach their customers on their mobile phones. Because SMS is easy to use and inherent on most cell phones without any extra downloads or cell phone modifications, it provides an ideal way to reach the vast majority of customers and drive immediate business results.

World-wide, developers working with Clickatell are building highly innovative services that integrate mobile messaging into a variety of applications:
· iProgram is a mobile marketing and content delivery company located in New York City. It specializes in targeted and viral SMS-messaging solutions, delivering links to websites with live and on-demand streaming video. To service an extensive pipeline of real estate brokers and listing agents, iProgram has created a revolutionary dashboard interface enabling users to do much more than only send SMS messages. In a first of its kind consumer-facing website, the www.realestatejukebox.com allows sellers to upload, format, target, push-out and share videos of properties with buyers any time, any where via their cell phones.
· 123 Consultants Ltd, an information technology and management consultancy based in the UK, offers schools and the National Health Service (NHS) products to communicate via SMS. Its Schools SMS solution offers students learning and motivational tools through a website that has been specially designed to enable integrated e-mail and text messaging. Its Health SMS solution enables the Heart of Birmingham Teaching Primary Care Trust to effectively communicate health information and medical advice, ranging from issues such as diet to drugs and safe sex, to over 300,000 people in its growing community.
· Mobilitrix, a mobile solutions company in South Africa, converts static content into a multimedia-rich, interactive experience using the mobile phone as potent interface. Its bundle of products allow advertisers and media companies to add a short code to practically any media – including print vouchers, radio ads and TV spots. By communicating promotional information to individuals through an opt-in SMS and keywords, content providers can bridge the gap between traditional and new media. An interactive campaign manager, built by integrating Clickatell's SMS Gateway in the company's solutions, provides businesses with a web-based application to easily manage SMS campaigns and services.
· SMSengine, an SMS company based in Australia provides schools, businesses and sports clubs in Australia and the UK with web-based SMS communications to stay in touch with their audiences. Working closely with Clickatell, SMSengine designs the front-end to create the message while plugging in to the Clickatell SMS Gateway for direct access to its global mobile data delivery platform.

A series of open and well-documented APIs provide direct access to the Clickatell Gateway's core mobile data delivery platform and international SMS gateway. The APIs support a set of common protocols, such as the popular HTTP for interfacing and data exchange, FTP to upload files, XML for structured data or even SMTP to connect e-mail to SMS, or Windows COM to integrate directly into applications. An assortment of script libraries and comprehensive integration specification documents are provided with each protocol. Developers can register an account online and start setting up an API within minutes to connect to the messaging application.
