PHOENIX, Feb. 24, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In a release issued under the same headline earlier today by Mobivity Holdings Corp. (OTCQB: MFON), please note in the third paragraph, the short code was incorrect, as well as the link to the Ben’s Chili Bowl’s loyalty program. Additionally, the subheadline of the release has been removed and in the About Ben’s Chili Bowl section, the spelling of Dave Chappelle has been corrected. The corrected release follows:
