According to Michael Jackson, director, paid products, Skype: "mBlox's network reaches out to our customers worldwide and their DirectPlus MT SMS product set ticked all the boxes for us.  Load tests and measurements showed that it could meet the demanding needs of our users. Being able to measure message-delivery successes and failures is also essential and mBlox's service gives us visibility into the status of our mobile transaction. At this point online Skype users can send SMS messages to mobile, but we are looking to extend this feature."
