Los Angeles :Mobile Messenger, the leading mobile solutions provider, announced today that it acquired m-Qube, Inc., the nation’s largest mobile messaging aggregator, from its parent company, VeriSign, Inc. ( VRSN). Under the terms of the agreement, Mobile Messenger obtains m-Qube’s direct connections to carriers in the US and Canada, and its entire business delivering standard commercial messaging and premium mobile content to customers throughout North America. With the addition of m-Qube’s technology and talented team capabilities, Mobile Messenger will continue its commitment to providing comprehensive mobile solutions for the US premium and standard messaging industry, where it will now hold the majority of market share.
An experienced global mobile solutions provider, Mobile Messenger has operated in the US since 2004. Mobile Messenger was m-Qube’s largest client. This vertical acquisition is seen by mobile industry experts as a logical and strategic decision by Mobile Messenger. The company will now hold the majority of the North American mobile messaging market and an enhanced position worldwide. As the market leader and largest provider within the US market, Mobile Messenger will continue to deliver an end-to-end technology platform that enables businesses to take advantage of the growing mobile content and messaging market as a marketing, communication and revenue channel.
“The industry knows m-Qube as a traditional aggregator. And when it comes to managing mobile campaigns end-to-end, Mobile Messenger is widely known as a strategic and trusted partner providing clients with a full suite of premium services,” said Michael Iaccarino, President and CEO of Mobile Messenger. “Our acquisition combines these two forces, links our capabilities directly to US and Canadian carriers, strengthens our commitment to provide full-service mobile solutions and gives our clients the unmatched opportunity to deliver dynamic services and content.”
“We are excited to be the major player within the mobile industry, and we look forward to working directly with carriers, taking a leadership role in terms of consumer protection and continuing to work as a strategic partner for new and existing clients,” continued Iaccarino.
