CSF aquired Aerialink to enhance its toll-free texting capabilities while adding text abilities for non-toll-free landline numbers.

“Aerialink was one of the first U.S. aggregators to provide an alternative to short codes by offering an API for messaging that runs on a 10-digit number. We’ve been developing core technology and customer-driven features that provide tangible benefits over competing solutions since our founding,” Chris Currie, founder and former CEO of Aerialink, said in a statement. “We see great potential in combining Aerialink’s product portfolio with CSF’s management expertise and gaining the scale that will provide a platform for exceptional offerings and accelerated growth.”

Currie has now joined the CSF leadership team as president of the Aerialink subsidiary and will also be part of the board.

“We couldn’t be more excited, both for CSF and our customers, to have Chris and his team join the CSF family. The capabilities of the Aerialink platform are second to none and will enable us to offer an enhanced product suite to our customers. We are always looking to improve and broaden our offering to provide a one-stop shop for our customer’s needs,” Rich Scanlon, CEO and president of CSF, said in a statement.

Financial terms were not disclosed.
