Nexmo, the company that enables enterprises and developers to communicate via cloud services simply and seamlessly with any phone globally, today announced that it has partnered with
du, the Middle East’s fastest growing telecommunications service provider, to deliver high value and business critical services to du’s subscribers through application-to-person (A2P) messaging. Exploding in popularity around the world, A2P communication is used by financial institutions, airlines, hotel booking sites, social networks and more to send messages from company systems to customers. Nexmo’s Cloud-to-Mobile solutions provide easy-to-use Cloud APIs enabling app developers, online providers and enterprises to reach customers and devices globally via innovative mobile messaging and voice experiences.
