Premium SMS is Like a 900 Number for the Cell Phone
If you want to charge the consumer to participate in a text message campaign, you can do so through premium SMS services.
Premium SMS allows for you to charge the consumer to enter a contest or receive your information. Most likely, you’ve seen premium SMS in use on television shows like “Deal or No Deal.”
The more common type of mobile marketing is standard text messaging where there is no charge to the consumer to participate. Premium SMS takes the opposite approach and works similarly to a 900 number. In fact, 84444.com and its parent company, Advanced Telecom Services, can provide you with the best of both worlds—a premium SMS program for cell phones and a 900 number for landline phones.
Payouts vary based on the carrier of the consumer participating in the campaign. As a general rule, however, you can anticipate that the carrier is taking 45% of the gross revenue off of the top. The remainder is split 70% to you. Payments from the carriers begin to arrive about 60-90 days following the end of the calendar month, although the payment timetable does vary per carrier.
Advanced Telecom Services has significant experience in the area of pay-per-call programs. If you want to operate a premium SMS program and a 900 number for your promotion, it’s unlikely you’ll find a company with more than twenty years of experience in these areas.
Note – Your premium SMS program may run on a short code other than 84444.
