History
Textlocal Ltd was formed in September 2005 as a [1] for businesses. In 2011, Txtlocal Ltd rebranded to become Textlocal, with a new website and branding. In 2012, Textlocal launched a new iteration of their Messenger platform, Messenger 2.0. Created by the team of in-house developers, the new platform added a number of new features and a more streamlined interface. In 2013, they released their Attachments tool,[2] which allowed users to attach documents to an SMS through a combination of file hosting and shortened URLs. This was the first product of its kind in the mobile messaging market.[citation needed] This technology enabled the development of subsequent features, including mobile forms and surveys[3] in 2013 and vouchers, tickets and loyalty cards[4] in 2014. In 2014, IMImobile acquired Txtlocal Ltd. In 2015, Messenger 3.0 was launched, updating the platform, and then launched Textlocal India.
