Premium Rated SMS Services

 

SMSolutions makes use of two-way, interactive competition grid platforms. The platforms have the ability to charge Premium Billing rates over all the Networks.

A number or numbers are allocated to a competition or service to which premium rated SMS messages are sent. These numbers can be standard cellular numbers or short numbers, which can be any available number between 32000 and 42299. These numbers are valid over all the SA Networks.

There are two ways in which revenue can be earned via Premium Rated SMS messages:

1)      Competitions

A number is allocated to a competition on either a once off campaign level, or a permanent basis. This number is placed on, or advertised with the various competition advertisement media, i.e. radio ad’s, television ad’s, printed media, etc. Numbers can take up to 5 days to activate.

A premium rate is allocated to that number, which must be stipulated in the advertisement.

The person entering the competition sends a SMS message containing a specific keyword to the number to partake in the competition. Multiple entries are allowed to maximize the income of the campaign as well as better the persons chances of winning.

A confirmation SMS is immediately sent to the sender of the message to congratulate him / her on successfully entering the competition. This SMS message can also be used to inform the sender of further competition information, e.g. rules or draw dates.

The start date and end date of the competition must be stipulated in the competition grid software, therefore only allowing entries between the specified dates to be valid. The system can automatically generate winners by random selection once the competition is completed, with a multitude of second and third places if so required.

All entries are automatically written into a database as they enter, for the clients use and viewing. An optional extra would be to have the client subscribe to one of our SMS services (SMSmalls) where they can further liaise with the database via SMS.

Not all service providers can offer revenue sharing on CellC Premium numbers.

The client can earn a revenue from these messages.
