NEW YORK-Comverse Technology Inc. hopes to boost already booming text messaging usage with a series of new personalized services and short cuts.
The company said the services include an offering that allows members to insert a predetermined signature at the end of text messages, and a “private network” wherein members use shortened four-digit codes instead of full phone numbers to exchange messages.
Other new Comverse services for text messaging fans include auto-reply, one-to-many and automatic forwarding.
