Compression and encryption

Proprietary compression technology hugely reduces GPRS data usage, despite all transactions being fully encrypted for complete peace of mind.

All back-end services, and SMS routing are fully redundant and monitored to ensure a consistent high-availability service.

Quality

FishText harnesses the power of proprietary global SMS routing systems provided by http://www.cardboardfish.com, to offer a superior quality of service at its price point when compared to rival services.

Automatic failure investigation detects undelivered messages and performs automated testing, before resolving the issue transparently to the customer.

Integrated card payments
