  A2P

 

A2P, or application-to-person messaging, refers to any kind of SMS traffic in which a person is receiving messages from an application (Facebook, MS365). A2P messaging typically includes marketing messages, appointment reminders, chatbots or virtual assistants, notifications, and one-time passwords or two-step verification.

​

     A2P Monetization

​

Mobile Network Operators’ (MNO) business rely mainly on data, voice, and SMS.

​

International Inbound A2P SMS is usually neglected which is strange, considering the fast pace of the global A2P SMS messaging market growth: from $12 billion in 2017 to $27 billion in 2022.

​

With revenue lost to gray international routes costing the A2P messaging industry $6 billion in 2018, more and more Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) are deploying SMS Firewall Solutions.

​

The problem is that merely installing an SMS Firewall is not enough to close revenue leaks as MNOs continue to struggle with fully taking control over international A2P traffic. This may be due to:

​

  • Incomplete awareness of businesses generating A2P traffic

  • Inability to monitor all the services and how they are currently delivering traffic

  • Lack of direct connections to businesses who are generating A2P traffic

  • Lack of an integrated team and effective procedures
