Bubble Motion Surpasses One Billion Bubble Calls

Bubble Motion, a provider of next-generation messaging applications, today announced that it has surpassed one billion calls to the Bubble platform since the company’s initial launch.

BubbleTalk™, the company’s flagship product and the original ‘voice SMS’ service, enables users to send short voice messages to friends and family – without calling! Users are using BubbleTalk™ to convey more emotion and feeling than can be expressed via text messaging. Users also enjoy the ease of use of the ‘Send a Bubble’ command embedded in their phone’s address book, and find that they can convey significantly more information in thirty seconds of speaking than they can in 160 characters of text messaging.

“Sending a Bubble message or “bubbling” has become an intrinsic part of life for the tens of millions of people who rely on it to keep in touch and express themselves,” said Tom Clayton, President & CEO of Bubble Motion. “Now that this message format has a tremendous foundation of success, our role is to keep innovating and finding new applications for the service. We’re already looking forward to two billion messages!”

As the BubbleTalk™ person-to-person messaging service has exploded in popularity, the company has also developed a comprehensive set of complementary messaging applications. These include BubbleCast™ (a one-to-many audio broadcasting service), BubbleSong™ (a viral song- and content-dedication service), and BubbleContest™ (a many-to-one service that leverages the power and creativity of user-generated content). The company is also in the process of rolling out a set of new and exciting additional services to continue to fuel message growth.

The Bubble applications have experienced dramatic usage growth over the past few years, and have been used by over 100 million unique users at carriers such as Airtel, Vodafone, Turkcell and other leading operators throughout the world.
