SMX (SMS eXchange) two-way

Mobile connectivity on a global basis

The success of SMS over the past 15 years is legendary. Seamless exchange of all kinds of messages is expected to be natural in today’s global world of mobile communications.  Subscribers expect to exchange messaging services with any other subscriber, regardless of the network and destination country. In reality, unlimited connectivity and full international interoperability are still an issue for most MNOs and MVNOs due to the lack of sufficient roaming agreements between all operators on a global basis.
