Adding a mobile messaging component to your social networking site or application means that users are immediately freed from purely desktop computer access. They can interact with the network and other users from wherever they are in the world through SMS text messaging. This freedom of movement translates into more loyal users and is a selling point for potential new users of your network.
Mobile social networks also offer the distinct advantage of interactivity; not only can you communicate with your users at any time, regardless of where they are but they can communicate with you through two-way text messaging. This opens up the potential for extra revenue through the use of premium-rated SMS text messages to sell products such as ringtones, downloads etc.
Clickatell offers you the tools to SMS-enable your social networking site or application and take it mobile. Our
award-winning SMS gateway and API (Application Programming Interfaces) connections are easy to use and free to download. Sign up for a trial-run of our SMS Gateway API connections.
