EDINBURGH, Scotland, July 25, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- HSL (Hay Systems Ltd), a leading reputable provider of reliable SMS gateway services, today announced the first of a new suite of SS7 mobile messaging products. This first product, named MobileInput, provides "virtual mobile" functionality for the receiving of inbound SMS messages from mobile telephones by applications for a range of different services.

MobileInput will be extremely attractive to many providers of mobile messaging services, including wireless service providers and mobile network operators, as a solution for enhancing inbound messaging performance.
