Reverse rate premium SMS?

[Paul R]

Hi, has anyone used any of the many companies that specialise in reverse rate premium text services? The numbers where the end user will pay for something through the text they send. Any recomendations of which to use? Thanks

We used mBlox for many years and their service was always good.

Get quotes from as many as you can and play them off against each other, there's a lot of movement in outpayment rates.

Watch out for charges made against undelivered messages or for "non-billed" messages, as these can soon add up!

Also don't pay very much for shared shortcodes - a dedicated one should only be about £400/month for all networks

What are you looking to do with them and how much are you looking to bill? It is worth considering that the networks take a chunk of the charge, about 35-45% IIRC.

They are a good way of taking payment in certain situations but there are a range of other options out there which can often represent a better option. If you give me a little more info I would be happy to see if there are better options for you.

Cheers
