Desktop Messaging - around 40% growth last month

SMS traffic from computers continue to grow! March figures compared with February figures is 40% up.

More and more Mobile Network Operators (MNO's) deploy and launch desktop messaging solutions towards their subscribers nowadays. Mobispine has currently more than 25 MNO's using our technology for desktop messaging and we are steadily growing with a few new MNO's per quarter.

Another finding we see when comparing data from these MNO's is that active users send between 20 and 200 SMS per user and month.

We know March has 10% more days than Feb and that would explain part of the growth but not the major part of course. Anyone with theories? People message more when ecenomy is down?

The data in this blog post come from 10 European Mobile Operators currently offering Mobispine desktop Messaging to its subscribers.

What is Desktop Messaging?

Some people I meet ask me some of the following questions: What are you doing? What is the need? I have e-mail, IM etc on my computer and some people have e-mail/twitter in their mobile phones as well. What is the need?

The answer is pretty straightforward

1. Instant Messaging is great sending direct messages from one PC to another PC
2. Standard SMS/MMS are great sending messages from one mobile phone to another mobile phone
3. Desktop Messaging (from Mobispine for example) is great when users in front of their PC want to reach people directly (within seconds, minutes, hours). As of today most people carry a cell phone 24/7 but do not sit in front of a computer or in front of their e-mail 24/7.

Other benefits with desktop messaging is the ability to get replies back in your computer. This simplifies the administration and handling of incoming messages as well.

Our goal is to be a strong player in between computers and mobile phones as is the case of Desktop Messaging.
