Deutsche Telekom International Carrier Sales & Solutions(ICSS) and DIMOCO Messaging has entered into an Application-to-Person (A2P) SMS partnership. DIMOCO Messaging powers communications between companies and consumers through their preferred SMS channel.
With a contractual framework affording direct connection to Deutsche Telekom's network, DIMOCO Messaging clients can now quickly, directly and reliably reach 156 million mobile consumers via A2P messaging in 50 countries across the globe. It can also reach Deutsche Telekom partners as well as its affiliates in Europe and outside of Deutsche Telekom's footprint through partner networks
This deal comes at a time when the A2P market has become increasingly central to the SMS landscape. A2P's percentage of overall worldwide SMS traffic has skyrocketed from 11.7 percent in 2010 to 22.4 percent in 2015 and opened new business possibilities. Not ending there, the number of A2P messages is expected to reach 1.76 trillion annually by 2018, according to Portio Research.
In addition, the value of the global A2P messaging market is projected to increase from $55 billion in 2015 to $60 billion by 2020, as Juniper Research reports.
