Acision, the world's leading messaging company, today announced that Nedjma (Wataniya Telecom Algeria), a leading multimedia and GSM operator in Algeria, handled more than 30 million text messages over their network during the three day Eid el-Fitr period. Acision is the supplier of Nedjma's SMSC which enabled Nedjma's six million subscribers to send seasonal greetings to friends and family via text, with message delivery peaking on the first day of Eid.

Imed Soussou, chief technical officer at Nedjma (WTA), said: "The exchange of text messages was handled by Acision with absolutely no disruption over the Eid period, allowing all our subscribers to reliably communicate with friends and family via SMS. For Nedjma, the Acision SMSC stands out for its feature rich services, robustness, and ability to scale up to support a heavy surge in messaging during special events and holiday periods such as Eid el-Fitr, Eid el-Adha and New Year."

"At Acision, we understand the importance of times in the year when people will want to send multiple text messages simultaneously and our solutions are designed to support these peaks whenever they happen. The Acision SMSC gives operators the confidence that they can meet the messaging demands of their customers, especially during periods when the increase in text messaging cannot be determined," said Sherif Hamoudah, vice president and general manager for Middle East, Africa and Pakistan.
