Started by Ewan · 1 year ago

I’m trying to remember who we worked with back, years ago, when we wanted to do text to screen in nightclubs. Can’t for the life of me remember the company names.

    To this day, I still recommend Mythum to anyone who contacts me for SMS / aggregation requirements and have not had a negative experience yet.

    That was a nice trip down memory lane.....

    Also note that some mobile agencies will have multiple aggregators setup on their inhouse mobile platform.

    K3ith is right, MyThum seems to have a strong grip on Canadian aggregation and is very knowlegable of the industry.
