SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - Apr 12, 2012) - CommerceTel Corporation (OTCBB: [ MFON ]), an award-winning provider of proprietary mobile marketing technologies and solutions, announced today that the United States Tennis Association (USTA) has entered a three-year agreement with CommerceTel to facilitate text messaging tactics such as voting, alerts, special offers, and in-venue activations. The agreement builds on the success of the two organizations' partnership on various mobile engagement services over the last two years.

Using CommerceTel's C4 and Txtstation Pro web-based platforms, the USTA will be equipped to deliver HD-quality graphics and animations on in-venue digital boards to engage their fans. Tennis fans will be able to text their votes, answers, pictures, or other messages to a short SMS code and have the results appear live on the screen in real-time.

"We're very excited to be chosen to enhance mobile engagement with the world's leading tennis organization," said Michael Falato, Vice President of Sales & Business Development of CommerceTel's Txtstation division. "Our platform will allow the USTA to enhance the fan experience at events as well as better communicate with its membership through the tremendous opportunities mobile capabilities provide."

By leveraging this technology, the USTA further extends its already robust offering of mobile engagement with tennis fans and recreational players. In addition to in-venue promotions, CommerceTel will provide more than 250 real-time score and event text message alert options for the US Open, as well as support USTA national conferences with text message specific presentation and evaluation needs.

Key USTA events planned to use this technology in 2012 include the US Open, the Emirates Airline US Open Series, and US Davis Cup/US Fed Cup teams.
