International Messaging Transit (IMT)

IMT (International Messaging Transit) is tyntec’s SMS Hubbing service for mobile operators and MVNOs. IMT is fully compliant with the standards set by the GSMA (GSM Association) for SMS hubbing.

 

Increasing international SMS connectivity with hubbing

The international SMS footprint of a mobile operator today largely depends on the roaming agreements it has in place. Today there are more than 850 GSM mobile operators, with most having between 150 and 400 roaming agreements. Because most operators do not have bilateral roaming agreements with every single mobile operator, international international SMS connectivity remains limited for many subscribers.

 

SMS Hubbing can help mobile operators to address their limited SMS reach in a cost-effective and straightforward way.
