MOKO.mobi on Smart will be the first of several deployments planned under the agreement. MOKO.mobi has been localised for the Philippine market, and will operate on a 'user-pays' model, similar to the existing Australian business model.

Loop Mobile's agreement with América Móvil covers deployment of MOKO.mobi across the US, Central and South America, including Mexico, Brazil and most other Latin American markets where América Móvil is the dominant operator, according to Loop Mobile,

The deal includes revenue share across all premium billing events and mobile advertising, together with the ability to link to mobile account billing from the MOKO.mobi website. MOKO.mobi will be localised and available in Spanish, Portuguese, and English versions across all regions.

"MOKO is already available globally via mobile web and the web, and now with the addition of new language versions, particularly Spanish, which is one of the most widely used languages in the world, we are able to reach an even larger global audience" Rodwell said.

"This is Loop's most significant deal to date and is a significant step in establishing MOKO.mobi as the premier, carrier integrated mobile chat and community platform."

He added: "Loop is well advanced in negotiations with other major carriers and we hope to be able to announce further deals in the coming months.

MOKO.mobi is aimed at the youth and young adult demographic and in Australia is implemented across the Telstra, 3 Mobile, Optus and Virgin Mobile services. It is also available worldwide via the mobile web at www.moko.mobi
