Bubble Motion, the global leader of voice SMS headquartered in California, which offers the award-winning BubbleTALK communications platform for intentional voice messaging, has just announced the launching of the first platform that enables Voice SMS interoperability between any operator globally.



The InterCONNECT platform allows now multiple operators who have enabled BubbleTalk for all their users, to connect, offering many benefits to operators with multiple deployment instances.

Among the mobile operators that benefit from the partnership with Bubble Motion are Digi from Malaysia, Indosat from Indonesia, and Bharti Airtel-India’s biggest mobile operator.

Thomas Clayton, CEO & President of Bubble Motion declared:
"For Voice SMS to grow exponentially like text SMS, we must have true interoperability - not only between our own operator partners, but for all operators with Voice SMS deployments. Users should be able to send Bubble messages to any of their friends, regardless of which operator service their friend might be using."

Bubble Motion has managed to include also the operators who have deployed alternative Voice SMS solutions, and the interoperability will function through the full support of the GSMA Voice SMS standard in development, but also by opening the BubbleTALK APIs for direct connectivity.

Clayton said that "Bubble Motion is fully committed to the GSM Association standards, and we have been part of the standards body working group from the outset,” and “Our launch today confirms that as the market leader, we are committed to openness and interoperability to drive the whole market forward."

Another large mobile operator that has deployed its own Voice SMS solution is Globe Telecom from Philippines, and now it is connected with BubbleTALK.

According to Tom Clayton, the Voice SMS service will grow explosively in the near future, while the “BubbleTALK network has grown to well over one hundred million subscribers and message traffic continues to grow even more significantly with every new partner."
