The software had an applet embedded within the SIM card. [10] [11] [12] [13] LiveScreen is currently being used by multiple mobile operators worldwide to date including BSNL, Airtel, Tele2, Vodafone, Taiwan Mobile, Globe Telcom Philippines etc. [14] [15] [16]

In 2013, Celltick released the Start interface for android based handsets, [17] [18] [19] which was utilized by multiple mobile operators and device manufacturers reaching around 150 million installations. [20] [21] In 2019, the Start division was acquired by Taboola. [22] [23] [24]

In January 2021, Frykhammar, former CFO and CEO of Ericsson joined Celltick as chairman of the board. Subsequently, Celltick is known for providing services to mobile operators and governments in Europe to meet the requirements of Article 110 in the legislation of the European Electronic Communications Code, mandating all member states to deploy a mobile public warning system by June 2022.
