Red Message had previously been working for the 365 Corporation, and was selected ahead of Rivals.net's wireless provider WIN following the merger between 365 and Rivals.
The subscription-based services are available from today, offering SMS updates, and tying into the group's football, cricket, rugby and formula one sports sites, among others.
The possibility of reverse billing is also under consideration, with subscribers able to buy packages of credits equivalent to the cost of 10p per text message, to receive their SMS updates.
Rivals Digital Media's partners, including EuroSport, Dixons and Fulham FC, are also being offered the new SMS updates system.
“We have been working with Red Message for over a year now and have found the wireless service they offer to be extremely professional,” said Rivals Digital Media director Steve Clarke.
“Looking towards the wireless service we need to cater for Rivals Digital Media, we decided to go with Red Message given the reach they could offer and their experience in high demand SMS delivery.”
