CONXUS Communications

CONXUS Communications, Inc. was a United States advanced-messaging and narrowband-PCS carrier, headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina, that operated the Pocketalk voice-messaging and Pocketext text-messaging services built on Motorola's InFLEXion protocol.

Conxus filed for bankruptcy protection in May 1999 and ceased network operations on August 27, 1999, affecting an estimated 80,000-100,000 subscribers. The company is defunct and publishes no API, developer portal, or SDK; this profile is retained as a historical portfolio record only.
