Beancounters at Rocco Research have added up some numbers and divided by their shoe size and named the Tier One Vendors in A2P SMS Messaging for 2017.
Rocco requested Mobile Network Operators to rate their A2P SMS Messaging Vendors. More than 326 Mobile Network Operators in 147 countries gave their opinions on 46 International A2P SMS Messaging Vendors.
CEO of Rocco Jason Bryan said that A2P SMS was a highly competitive and high revenue market, but not all vendors operate with the best interest of Mobile Operators.
“Mobile Operators are opinionated about their Vendors. It is an accolade to be recognised as a Tier One Vendor in our reports because we provide an Independent and completely neutral outlook on the market.”
The leading Vendors as rated by the MNOs were (in alphabetical order):
1.CLX Communications
2. Infobip
3. Nexmo (The Vonage API Platform)
4. Route Mobile Ltd
5. Twilio
The detailed analysis of more than 20 vendors from a pool of 46 Vendors selected by Mobile Operators can be found in the Rocco Research A2P SMS Messaging Vendor Performance Report 2017 here.
