End2End, the global SMS carrier, announced its commitment to its expanding messaging business with the establishment of a sales office in Cape Town.
Over the past years, mobile communication has grown faster in sub-Saharan Africa than in most parts of the world. The South African market alone has the largest growth on the continent, with a current active subscriber base of more than 30 million.
End2End is the leading international aggregator to send short messages to over 500 destinations in 180 countries, including all three of SA's mobile network operators (MNOs) and over 80 other African operators.
In addition to our SMS Gateway offering, End2End also provides two-way SMS solutions, managed connectivity services and a number look-up service to retrieve real-time information about subscribers before routing SMS or voice traffic. This gives End2End's operator and business customers access to millions of mobile subscribers and enables them to directly participate in mobile growth throughout Africa.
"There is growing interest in End2End's SMS services and expertise in Africa," says Thomas Klar, Director Sales Wholesale of End2End. "We are currently involved in many SMS projects across Africa handling several million messages a month on a carrier grade quality and reliability.
"Combining End2End's extensive messaging experience, global SMS coverage and our African market understanding results in offering a powerful compelling value proposition to our African clients."
End2End's move into South Africa strengthens its leadership position in global messaging and data services, and is in keeping with the company's objective to continue to provide its customers with innovative messaging opportunities.
