The promotional service is set to go live in June. The service will allow users to receive a headline alert as text message to their mobile phone as soon as a major international news story breaks.
Clickatell’s messaging aggregation and delivery technology ensures that users of the CNN service receive breaking news information via SMS as it happens, immediately and reliably, wherever they are in the world. Users can then link through to CNN’s mobile news site, www.CNNmobile.com, via their handsets, for the full story.
Clickatell is able to keep CNN breaking news alert users informed of news updates thanks to its robust, carrier-grade global messaging infrastructure, which delivers high-priority alerts to approximately 600 mobile networks in 200 countries.
