ATLANTA—Wireless data company Numerex announced it will create a cross-carrier messaging system through a new deal with MobileSpring Inc. and VeriSign Inc.
Numerex will use MobileSpring’s Metcalf Global Messaging product to ensure its text messages can be sent over networks operated by other carriers. Several major wireless carriers, including AT&T Wireless Services Inc. and Verizon Wireless, have recently made similar moves.
