Boston, MA (PRWEB) May 30, 2005 -- To enhance functionality and enable multiple activation channels, Telecontinuity has partnered with Unwired Appeal to integrate SMS activation of their award-winning telecommunication restoration services.
In times of telecommunication network failures caused by carrier outages or natural disasters, Telecontinuity provides immediate backup resources that re-establish telephone services to businesses and government agencies in just minutes. Activation of backup communication services can now be initiated via SMS text-messaging to a common carrier short code. Telecontinuity clients simply send their activation code via SMS and receive an immediate reply that services have been activated.
SMS integration and intercarrier maintenance is delivered by wireless technology firm Unwired Appeal. The SMS delivery system employs industry-standard protocols for bi-directional communication with wireless subscribers via the intercarrier SMPP network.
"Our recent launch of SMS to HTTP connectivity services has enabled us to rapidly deploy custom application-to-person solutions for clients such as Telecontinuity" commented Dan McCafferty, CEO of Unwired Appeal. "Integration with Telecontinuitys back-end platform was completed in record time thanks to the assistance of their highly professional team." Unwired Appeal maintains services through their Boston-based server facility and back-bone connections to the intercarrier network.
TeleContinuity selected Unwired because TeleContinuity needed a U.S. based provider that met both our technical and business requirements. Unwireds approach in using a shared short code and keyword to uniquely identify a system fit nicely into our model" said Michael Rosenberg, Executive Vice President.
Additionally, TeleContinuitys customers require several different methods of activating the TeleContinuity Service in the event that their current telecommunications carrier or telecommunication infrastructure is rendered inoperable or inaccessible, and SMS-based activation is one of our most powerful activation methods."
