StarStar Mobile

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from StarStar Number)

StarStar Mobile operates the National StarStar Registry in the United States, leasing StarStar Numbers (Mobile Dial Codes) through wireless carriers including AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile. The company was founded as a subsidiary of Virtual Hold Technology in 2016, when Virtual Hold Technology acquired Zoove and its StarStar services from Mblox.

StarStar numbers allow consumers with mobile phones to connect directly to a business and receive an SMS message which enables them to choose whether they want to be connected to a person, to be directed to a mobile website or to download a mobile application. An example of a StarStar number[1] is **TAXI (**8294) which allows a mobile phone user to connect to a local taxi company.

StarStar Mobile was co-founded by Steve Doumar in 2015 with $80mm. He acted as the president of the company for many years.[2]
