LONDON, June 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

Our research has been concluded, the results have been checked and verified and we are pleased to announce the Tier One Vendors in A2P SMS Messaging for 2017.

Congratulations to all five Tier One Vendors who performed so well across the performance and leadership KPIs in our report.

Following our intensive annual research started in April 2017 and concluded last week, ROCCO requested Mobile Network Operators to rate their A2P SMS Messaging Vendors. Over 400 respondees from 326 Mobile Network Operators in 147 countries gave their opinions on 46 International A2P SMS Messaging Vendors.

Said C.E.O. of ROCCO Jason Bryan about their latest report "A2P SMS is a highly competitive and high revenue market, unfortunately not all vendors operate with the best interest of Mobile Operators, therefore Mobile Operators are opinionated about their Vendors. It is an accolade to be recognised as a Tier One Vendor in our reports, because we provide an Independent and completely neutral outlook on the market."

The leading Vendors as rated by the MNOs were (in alphabetical order):

• CLX Communications 
• Infobip 
• Nexmo (The Vonage API Platform) 
• Route Mobile Ltd 
• Twilio 

The detailed analysis into over 20 vendors from a pool of 46 Vendors selected by Mobile Operators can be found in the ROCCO Research A2P SMS Messaging Vendor Performance Report 2017.
