[Bok Swanson]

WALLDORF — To enable Filipinos with overseas family and friends to reach each other in the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan, SAP AG recently provided free international SMS services for Philippine telecom operators. Between November 11 and November 25, international SMS messages delivered through SMS interconnection network from SAP Mobile Services, a division of SAP, were at no cost for subscribers from Globe Telecom, Smart Communications and Sun Cellular.

As part of the company’s commitment to social responsibility in the Philippines, SAP Mobile Services partnered with the three Filipino operators in support of relief efforts to facilitate Filipino citizens’ overseas SMS communication during this critical period, enabling millions of Filipino citizens with overseas family and friends to reach each other more easily. SAP is a 10-year partner of the Philippines-based telecom operators, enabling them to provide international SMS services for the Filipino community, for which text message communication is a key aspect of daily life.

“In support of the Filipino community’s rebuilding and recovery, SAP is committed to contributing in a meaningful way by facilitating communication with overseas families and friends through unlimited international SMS services,” said Matthew Tonkin, vice president, SAP Mobile Services, Asia Pacific Japan. “We are dedicated to playing our part in support of relief efforts led by our longstanding mobile operator partners in the Philippines.”
