Rummble, a location based social search and discovery tool, allows users to find location content without a
traditional keyword search. By using Clickatell's mobile messaging solutions, Rummble can offer a mobile connection
to their network to users who do not have a Java application or web access or those who simply prefer SMS text messaging.
The mobile instant messaging company, MXit, founded in South Africa in 2005, has been using Clickatell since start-up and Clickatell is still their largest SMS provider. MXit has over 8 million registered users that exchange more than a hundred million text messages per day. Users can also exchange greetings cards, sound clips and pictures.
Bluepulse, one of the fastest growing mobile communities in the world, chose Clickatell as a global messaging provider because we have the widest global reach and as Ben Keighran, founder and CEO of Bluepulse, puts it, "our users don't deserve any limitations". Neither does yours! Bluepulse uses SMS technology to enable users to send messages, update their status and send pictures or video to their network. Users also receive text message alerts about new mail or to receive a daily summary of their Bluepulse activity.

SOCIAL NETWORKING CASE STUDY: RUMMBLE
“We integrated with Clickatell quite early on in our private beta service, and have been using them on our launched platform since. The support offered by Clickatell has been great and the business relationship with account managers personal.”
Andrew J Scott - Founder/CEO of Rummble
Rummble, a global location based social search and discovery tool, allows users to find content for a location easily without having to use traditional keywords. Their award-winning mobile algorithm gives personalized results based on a trust profile built around individual users and their social network. When they discovered that users were still more comfortable using SMS text messaging and that in emerging markets, some people did not have data connections;they chose Clickatell to support their international SMS service.
Clickatell could offer Rummble global network coverage as they deliver SMS text messages reliably to over 200 countries through more than 700 network operators – more than any other mobile messaging company in the world. By using Clickatell’s SMPP API connection, Rummble was guaranteed almost instantaneous delivery of text messages plus two-way messaging capability. As a result, Rummble is able to push both alerts and content to users that are not logged into the Rummble network. It also allows them to respond quickly to user queries and handle network diagnostics as they can send test SMS messages to user’s mobile phones.
Clickatell’s SMPP API connection is robust and suitable for customers who send large amounts of SMS text messages. It enables Rummble to truly have global reach and extend their user market to those currently not logged in to the site as well as potential users in emerging markets with limited Internet access. Clickatell’s SMS solutions add immediate user-friendly SMS capability to any site or application and the award-winning, reliable SMS Gateway offers social networks an extended global reach.
“Clickatell offered Rummble the functionality which has enabled us to launch globally, regardless of our member’s handset capabilities.” Andrew J Scott - Founder/CEO |
