Personalisation and Flexibility


    Acision, the world's leading messaging company, and Sun Cellular, the

fastest-growing mobile network provider in the Philippines, have partnered to

come up with the world's most advanced SMS services using Acision Message

personalised message management functionality, enabling them to block SMS

spam, set up automatic replies and automatically copy or forward messages to

another mobile number or email address - all from their handset.


    One of the SMS hotspots of the world, mobile operators in the Philippines

generate 50% of their revenues from mobile data services such as SMS.

Research into the Philippine market has indicated overwhelming demand for the

features of Acision Message Plus, with nearly half of participants indicating

that they would change operator to access the service[1].


    Charles Lim, CEO of Sun Cellular commented, "The Philippine market is

extremely competitive so our customers demand the most advanced and

feature-rich messaging services available. To serve our clients better, we

always look for world class industry partners that can help us achieve that

goal. Acision Message Plus enables us to offer our subscribers the freedom to

choose how they want to manage their messaging experience both within and

beyond their handset."


    Rory Buckley, Chief Executive of Acision, added: "SMS in the Philippines

is an amazing phenomenon, with mobile operators processing up to 250 million

SMS messages per day. The Philippines has the largest SMS volume in the

world, accounting for eight per cent of global SMS traffic. Sun Cellular is

demonstrating that there is room for innovation and growth in SMS and we

anticipate an enthusiastic response from subscribers for the Message Plus

service."
