Joakim from Mobispine informed me that their company has acquired Fun Text and its parent company Image Semantics, with the idea to deliver messaging solutions to operators.
Fun Text is a consumer service that connects content with communication and enables users to send professionally created multimedia to express their emotions. The combined vision is to deliver next generation mobile messaging services on a global scale.
The two companies already support major operators such as Vodafone, Orange, Telefonica, Sprint, T-Mobile and O2. In addition, Mobispine has recently expanded into Brazil and has also won contracts with Russian and Indian mobile operators.
For the record, Fun Text is the fourth acquisition by Mobispine in a little over 12 months as the company becomes a new force in mobile messaging.
