SHORT CODE NUMBERS
[NB: FASTSMS has a new site dedicated
to Mobile Marketing : FASTMMS]
Short Code numbers are 4, 5 or 6 digit numbers
common to the main UK mobile operators. They offer the highest
throughput of any cross network messaging solution, and rely
on high-speed direct connections with all UK mobile operators.
High volume SMS traffic is generally generated from television
and press campaigns, for example the final night of BBC1’s
Pop Idol programme generated in excess of 10 MILLION
SMS votes.
Short codes are almost essential for 2-way
applications which require premium rate text messaging.
The 5 main UK mobile operators all now offer
premium rate messaging. Mobile users are charged between 25p
and £1.50 for sending or receiving messages ( or multiples
thereof ). The mobile operator charges the user for the messages
and shares the revenue with the content owner or application
provider. To request details of the UK network’s current
revenue share tables and number availability tables please
contact
us.
You can use the system with either a SHARED
or DEDICATED Short Code Number. In the case
of a shared number, the first ‘keyword’ of any
received message will identify the correct recipient. With
a dedicated number you have no restrictions on your use of
keywords or responses.
Using premium reverse billed SMS, FASTSMS
can offer your company enhanced revenue streams and partially,
or even fully, self funding marketing campaigns.
At FASTSMS we can offer reverse billing applications
across all 5 UK networks. Costs vary dependant on service
level but start from as little as £49.00
per month for a reverse-billed shared short code
number.
For a specific quotation please contact
us with brief details of your ideas.
We operate a separate website dedicated
to reverse billing and shortcode numbers, so for full detail
please visit our Mobile Marketing site at www.fastmms.co.uk |
