UK SOCIAL NETWORKING CASE STUDY: RUMMBLE
"Clickatell offered Rummble the functionality which has enabled us to launch globally, regardless of our member's handset capabilities."
Andrew J Scott - Founder/CEO of Rummble
Rummble, a fast growing location based search and discovery tool allows its users to find recommended content without
using keyword searches. Search results from Rummble are personalised according to individual users' profiles plus
the content of their social networks.
Discovering that even though their website and mobile services had Java applications, people were still more
comfortable with using SMS text messages to communicate, Rummble looked for a global partner to offer reliable
two-way messaging functionality.
Clickatell offers the widest network reach for mobile messaging, reliably delivering messages to over 200
countries through more than 700 networks - more than any other mobile messaging company in the world. Also
their developer-friendly API connections to the SMS Gateway are extremely easy to integrate into any website, application
or programme, offering almost immediate SMS functionality. The product that they chose to use was Clickatell's SMPP
connection which offered them a robust, bulk SMS connection that was perfect for high-volume messaging. The connection
between the API interface and the SMS Gateway is continuous allowing for very fast delivery of SMS text messages.
Clickatell's extended network reach allows Rummble to access new markets particularly developing markets that
do not have access to data connections plus reach their users even when offline. Taking advantage of the immediacy
of SMS text messaging and Clickatell's SMS Gateways extended reach, Rummble was able to push both content and alerts
to users not currently logged into the Rummble network.
"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."
