“SMSshortcodes.co.uk arranged our on-pack ‘Text-to-Win’ promotion throughout Ireland. The marketing support and advice that we received was refreshingly brilliant!”
Melanie Talbot, Marketing Manger United Wine Merchants Ltd.

The premium rate SMS gateway delivers each message we receive directly to the service we are managing for you (e.g. you are running a vote) or to your own application (we provide a free API for developers). Following the message sent in by your customer a premium rate SMS message is sent back to their mobile phone. This message is set at the tariff you have chosen to use (in accordance to your terms of service). The message sent back is the billing mechanism (the reverse billing SMS).

Campaign reports can be displayed in real time, and importantly we transfer the network revenue out payments to you each month.

Note for developers: contact us for details of the SMS gateway APIs and how best to integrate premium rate SMS or standard rate SMS to your business systems.
