Statement issued by the company (Announcement)<\/span><\/p>\n

TextNow, the leading ad-supported U.S. free wireless service, and Mavenir, the disruptive cloud-native telco technology provider, today announced the integration of Mavenir\u2019s cloud-native<\/strong> mobile BSS and Core into TextNow\u2019s mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Mavenir\u2019s cloud-native BSS and Core platform solution is designed to help TextNow<\/strong> to onboard new users faster, launch differentiated service tiers, and expand its free wireless model to reach even more of the millions of Americans looking for great wireless service without overpaying for it. Highlighting TextNow\u2019s focus on innovation, this Mavenir integration delivers a range of features to better support TextNow\u2019s 8 million+ active users, including the ability to manage sponsorship partners, develop roaming relationships, and provision users with independent SIM profiles.<\/p>\n

\u201cTextNow has spent 17 years proving that wireless service can be free, can be supported by advertising, and can deliver a great experience on a nationwide 5G network<\/strong>,\u201d said Tristan Huntington, Senior Vice President, Partnerships &Innovation, of TextNow. \u201cPartnering with Mavenir allows us to remain at the forefront of innovation, giving us more control over the customer experience and a faster path to launching new features \u2014 which means we can keep pushing the boundaries of what free wireless should be.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mavenir\u2019s flexible cloud native modular platform can support every MVNO model and their go-to-market strategy, whether launching a sub-brand, adding mobility to an existing portfolio, or scaling a challenger brand.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe MVNO market continues to evolve as operators look to innovate and differentiate their offerings – but this is simply not possible without the flexibility and scale enabled by the underlying cloud-native platform,<\/strong>\u201d said Sandeep Singh, SVP &General Manager, Business Solutions, of Mavenir. \u201cTextNow\u2019s adoption of Mavenir is a prime example of how Mavenir\u2019s cloud-based technology is helping to take an MVNO to the next level, shifting from \u2018Thin\u2019 to \u2018Thick\u2019, enabling a high degree of service innovation and differentiation, and bringing free connectivity to millions more customers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Mavenir platform allows thin MVNOs<\/strong> to enter the market with a world class BSS platform, enabling personalization, differentiation, and smart bundling of customer offers to help maximize revenues. It will also offer thick MVNOs full network level control to innovate and build deep network integration, which includes features like QoS segments, Standalone 5G connectivity monetization, and IoT traffic handling.<\/p>\n
