About Clickatell messaging
Clickatell was founded with a clear mission: to make it easy for businesses to connect with their mobilized customers, regardless of where they are located. Although SMS is widely available and easily understood, it is however a challenging mobile channel to reliably operate on a global scale.
Today it delivers millions of messages daily through connections to over 1000 carriers.
It reaches more than 220 destinations and six billion consumers across the globe.
Clickatell messaging now powers SMS-based mobile engagement for over 15,000 of the world’s brands.
With our dedicated support teams, we enable startups, small to medium businesses and global enterprises to change the world.
