4.18.2018 PISCATAWAY, NJ AND LAS VEGAS, NV – 1STPOINT COMMUNICATIONS COMPLETES WHITE LABEL RETAIL SMS PORTAL

1stPoint Communications announced today that is has rolled out a white labeled text messaging portal as part of its hosted Short Message Service Center (SMSC). The turn-key solution allows operators to enter the SMS marketplace quickly by adding the portal into their website and start providing services to their customers almost immediately without a need for substantial investment in their technology or infrastructure. “Our Hosted SMSC product is an ideal why for CLECs, traditional ISPs, wireless ISPs and Voice over IP providers to begin offering their customers two-way messaging services,” said Kristen Vasicek, Director of Marketing for 1stPoint. “Texting has replaced email as the dominant written communication tool. Any service provider that does not have this capability will be operating at a significant disadvantage.”

This service leverages 1stPoint’s industry leading technology, and its recent acquisition of Shelcomm, Inc, a mobile operator in Los Angeles, California. “The acquisition allows our platform to provide a unique set of services such as two-way international message delivery and certain advanced features only available to mobile operators,” commented Erik Levitt, 1stPoint’s CEO. “The white labelled portal extends our capabilities to other service providers.”

The platform can take any number from any service provider and allow it to inherit the capabilities of a mobile number within the texting ecosystem. Provisioning is done almost completely autonomously, with little human intervention, allowing easy access for portal customers. “SMS and chat will continue to grow as its applications broaden,” added Vasicek. “We are very well positioned to facilitate that growth.”
