TextPremium – Short Code SMS & Text Message Marketing
TextAnywhere provides a range of free-to-use online applications for organisations wishing to use Short Code numbers (for example, 82029) in their text message marketing campaigns. These Short Code numbers can be used either as a convenient way to enable people to contact you, or as a means to charge mobile phone users for receiving text messages from you – this is known as Reverse Billing.
With a Short Code SMS service, you don’t have to charge someone a premium for interacting with your Short Code – it’s your choice as the service provider.
You may just want to offer your clients an easy way of contacting you by SMS, by texting a Keyword to a Short Code. For example:
- »“Text CAR to 81025 for more details on our new car offers”
- »“For more information text INFO to 84025”
- »“Please contact the Council by texting CAMBS to 81025”
- »“To vote, text STAR followed by the act number to 80039”
Please do try these examples – you’ll just be charged your standard rate for sending a text message.
Alternatively, perhaps you would like to charge a mobile phone user for entering your competition, sending in a vote, or for receiving premium content (perhaps football results, astrology information or news).
With Reverse Billing, the cost of the service is charged to the mobile phone user, with a proportion of the charge being received back by you as the content provider, as an Outpayment.
For each keyword service we charge a setup and a monthly fee:
- » Setup charge - £29
- » Monthly fee - £39
