Global Text Messaging from Twilio

Twilio, the cloud-based service which provides any app provider the ability to add text messaging capabilities, announced global text messaging (short message service, or SMS) capabilities that allow apps to connect users on over 1,000 mobile networks, globally, in 150 different countries.


Twilio SMS is now also multi-lingual, with support for a variety of languages, such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Greek, Russian and dozens more. 


Twilio allows application developers to integrate voice and text communications directly into virtually any app that uses the Internet. 


Twilio already supports international voice calls, but the task of getting agreements with many separate mobile service providers was complicated.
