Comment on Open Source SMS Text Messaging Application by MattHi, David; Great and helpful site. I was hoping that you could provide a little more help in the form pointing me in the right directions. I have sms content that I believe people will be willing to pay for, per sms. Ideally, they would send a request via sms, and they would then receive my content via sms. They would pay for it, and I would get a cut, per sms. Do you know of any services that can help me with this (I imagine they will take a cut, or include advertising)? Not ideal, but if that doesn't work, is there a service that will set up my content to be delivered once a person subscribes, and pays a monthly fee? I am new to the sms business and technology side of things, but have killer content to get into the hands of users, and need help with how. Thanks so much for any and all suggestions, Best, Matt Comment on Open Source SMS Text Messaging Application by Anu
Hello Ian, I am working on an SMS emergency alert application for my school and we are looking into using Clickatell. How happy have you been with their service? Any complaints? Would you recommend them? Do School's Out and CampusWire both use Clickatell? I am trying to grasp the whole setup and I am wondering why should one use these when they can directly sign up with Clickatell? Could you clarify that for me? Thanks, Anu BTW, great post DC. Comment on How To Get Your Own SMS Common Short Code by George
Paying for your own shortcode is not the only way to reap the benefits of this fabulous way to communicate with your customers on the mobile networks. Several companies that have shortcodes will lease you the use of their shortcode. By using unique keywords to differentiate your message from potentially thousands of others using the same shortcode, you can achieve the same results at a fraction of the cost. i.e. texting "AUDI" to a shortcode might get you an instant text message, coupon or contest entry from your local Audi dealer, while texting JBARG to the same shortcode might get you a text message good for a free appetizer at Joes Bar and Grill. No jumping through hoops and no steep learning curves. Cheers! George note: comment edited by admin comment feed...
