31.8.2021 14:02:09 CEST | Business Wire | Press release
iBASIS announced today its agreement with Claro Ecuador to implement a comprehensive solution, becoming the authorized carrier for the monetization of all A2P SMS messaging traffic.
iBASIS’ SMS Firewall will ensure successful monetization of A2P traffic by monitoring all entry points and detecting leaks, while preventing the growing types of SMS fraud such as “smishing” or SMS phishing scams.
A2P SMS traffic increased 68.4% between 2019 and 2020, compared to 18.2% between 2019 and 2018. The growth resulted from business A2P SMS with new companies using the channel, but also existing businesses increasing their usage, due to the pandemic. In terms of spend, the growth has jumped to 51.6% in 2020 vs. 2019, compared to 16.1% the previous years*. There is still plenty of room for operators to leverage the growing market via their legitimate A2P SMS terminating routes to ensure greater and secure user experience.
