ClearSky and Thumb Cellular's Groundbreaking Partnership
ClearSky Technologies has announced an exciting collaboration with Thumb Cellular, aiming to transform the landscape of application-to-person (A2P) messaging services. This strategic partnership is designed to manage and deliver a wide array of messaging solutions such as Short Code, Toll-Free numbers, 10-digit long codes (10DLC), and Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS).
The partnership signals a significant advancement for Thumb Cellular in enhancing its offering of secure, compliant, and high-performance messaging services tailored to meet the evolving needs of its customers. ClearSky's respected iCODE A2P platform will oversee all A2P traffic directed toward Thumb Cellular, facilitating the management of Short Code, Toll-Free, 10DLC, and MMS messaging traffic. This consolidation is poised to generate legitimate revenue from A2P traffic while minimizing the risks associated with spam and message routing errors typically seen in person-to-person (P2P) channels.
Tracey Schenk, the Director at Thumb Cellular, highlighted the immediate benefits of this integration: "The advantages of partnering with ClearSky Technologies have been very noticeable since we integrated their application-to-person services into our network. Proper message routing gives us greater network control, increased power in combating unwanted spam messages, additional revenue opportunities, and an overall more polished experience for our customers."
ClearSky's exhaustive set of A2P services ensures real-time monitoring, throughput optimization, and stringent compliance alignment. These elements are critical in delivering reliable message traffic that adheres to regulations—vital for large-scale operations.
Ron Willett, ClearSky’s VP and GM, expressed enthusiasm over the collaboration, stating, "Partnering with Thumb Cellular allows us to bring a comprehensive, future-ready A2P messaging platform to an innovative carrier. Our focus is to help this cellular provider unlock new revenue opportunities while maintaining the highest standards for message delivery, compliance, and security."
