Fun Text and Acision have teamed up to jointly develop new mobile apps and services under the aegis of the latter's Innovation Network.

Acision, which claims to deliver half the world's SMS and MMS messages, will pre-integrate and certify the Fun Text messaging service on its product range and collaborate on future roadmaps.

Image Semantics-owned Fun Text, which runs enhanced messaging platforms and storefronts for the likes of Sprint, T-Mobile and 3 UK, will also gain access to Acision's 300 customers.

Richard Harris, CEO at Fun Text, said: "With Acision we are going to show these carriers how Fun Text establishes a new messaging category and an incremental revenue stream with strong ARPU. This partnership with Acision gives us the capacity to sell globally and capitalise on the successful returns we are already seeing in the USA & UK."
