mBlox has announced that its mobile message-delivery platform has been selected to support textPlus, a new text-messaging application for the iPhone and iPod touch from GOGII, Inc. Self-touted as the world’s largest, mobile transaction network, mBlox claims textPlus has been downloaded by more than two million iPhone and iPod touch users since its launch in June 2009. The service has reportedly distributed more than 155 million messages across the US, via mBlox’s mobile message-delivery and -billing solution.

“In addition to providing textPlus users with new and innovative features that make their texting experience better than ever before, our business depends on the ability to deliver mobile messages quickly, reliably and economically,” Scott Lahman, co-founder and CEO of GOGII, said. “As a message delivery provider, mBlox stands out, not only for its best-in-class technology but also as a trusted partner in fostering relationships with top carriers.”

“GOGII is truly an innovator in the US SMS market characterized by their blistering growth reaching more than 2 million messages sent daily via textPlus after just four months of launch,” Brian Johnson, senior vice president of sales and marketing for the Americas and Asia Pacific for mBlox, added. “GOGII is taking SMS to the next level, with consumers now able to enjoy the benefits of private group discussions and conversations on the move, and sometimes even without a phone.”

According to the official iTunes App Store description, textPlus (available for free download using the link below) brings iPhone owners group-messaging features typical to desktop computers. Users can organize activities with several friends at the same time, introduce people to each other or just carry on a group conversation. Once a text is sent to group members, the message becomes a group conversation. The software requires iPhone OS 2.2.1 or later and can be used on an iPod touch just as good.
