    TXT Messaging business - hook a brother up!

    I was looking at the bottom of http://tour.samanthagauge.com/ and I see the TXT messaging image deal.

    Mayor always has the good shit.

    I want in. How can I offer that?

              Not the cheapest thing in the world to do, but it's only really three steps:

              1. Buy / build an SMS platform. I'm actually in London right now working with the http://www.mkodo.com team with advice for their next release.

              2. Partner with an SMS aggregator, such as http://www.simplewire.com

              3. Purchase a shortcode and get it approved by mobile carriers.
              Your post count means nothing.

                I'm doing awesome with mainstream mobile marketing, definitely look into SMS aggregators if you're looking to offer something similiar. There's quite a few in the USA and a lot of them offer recurring memberships but be prepared for a 40-60% fee from the telco's.

                              Its a pretty good business in the UK and Europe, downside is that the mobile operators take the Lion's share of the revenue.

                              Tip: If you do get into, make sure you get your own short code number, a lot of the companies offer shared short code numbers, so for example if you send 'lens' to 55566 they get a picture of you. But if they make a typo and send 'len' instead you don't get paid, but the company with the short code does.

                                and that works in one country? 10? always the fun side of the sms biz as nothing works worldwide and you're left with 20% of the cake if you're lucky enough to cash out after the 6 month holding period...

                                            Do you offer this worldwide? For how many countries is this short code valid? What restrictions are there to the content?

                                                Be sure whoever you choose can guarantee your payments as it is not funny paying your webmasters for months without getting paid yourself
                                                Depending on who you go with, you can expect to wait up to 90 days EOM from the purchase before you get paid.
                                                I would suggest you use "voice dialer" instead where you can get your payments guaranteed, and only use SMS if you find someone that will guarantee your payments, IE: paying weekly

                                                                  1. Buy / build an SMS platform. I'm actually in London right now working with the http://www.mkodo.com team with advice for their next release.

                                                                  2. Partner with an SMS aggregator, such as http://www.simplewire.com

                                                                  3. Purchase a shortcode and get it approved by mobile carriers.

                                                                  From many of the posts, people are familiar with PSMS in the US and at a 10,000 foot level, these items are pretty accurate. However, to make $$ in this business and not hemorrhage away all profits, there is significant technology and processes required:



                                                                  1. Content formatting and rendering for various carriers and handsets

                                                                  2. Message/content delivery and scripting engines

                                                                  3. Stored value and subscription administration

                                                                  4. Premium SMS transaction reconciliation, client reporting, and payout
                                                                  accounting

                                                                  5. Risk management including white list/black lists, velocity checks, etc.

                                                                  6. Integrating your SMS platform with monitoring and implementing actions relative to carrier response codes for PSMS

                                                                  7. Understand and work within carrier compliance guidelines and the Mobile Marketing Associations ?Code of Conduct?!

                                                                  8. Shortcode carrier applications, implementation, provisioning and administration


                                                                  It can all certainly be accomplished as we have built it ourselves?however, it has taken years and an enormous amount of capital, resources and hard-knocks experience. And we have a background in technology and transaction processing?

                                                                  Anyone interested in what we offer please feel free to contact me on ICQ 21239908 or email anthony at 365billing dot com.

Even text chat applications that are 'by letter' not adult, but 'in spirit' are adult related (ie chat apps primarily used for sex chat etc) will get denied. Its crazy. Verizon is the most restrictive carrier of them all.. they are all about being the 'fundamentalist friendly' phone network.
