Hi Ewan

Hope you’re well and enjoyed Barcelona. I’ll be at Cebit next week so lets meet if you are going too. Thought you would like a world exclusive from iTAGG…..

iTAGG’s Dedicated Virtual SMS Numbers (e.g. +447797800300) are about to become revenue sharing. Clients can earn upto half a penny on every incoming SMS from mobiles in the UK, most of Europe and South Africa. To confirm, this is nothing to do with reverse billed sms, this is purely on inbound messages. To celebrate this unique offering in the UK text messaging industry, we are also lowering the standard price of each dedicated number to just £99+vat per year (£199 for gold vanity numbers). This deal is so hot off the plate that we haven’t even finished the promotional web page yet, so please email steveprocter (at) itagg.com for further details.

I would also like to extend the following deal to all Mobile Industry Review readers (for orders before end of March)…

– unlimited numbers for £60 each per year, including gold vanity numbers
– skip the tiered payouts and go straight to the £0.005 payout per incoming, no matter how small or big your volume

Enjoy…..

regards
Steve

This kind of revenue share offering is — as Steve points out — nothing to do with reverse billing. It’s been possible to generate revenue (say half a penny or even a penny) per text with shortcodes for some time. It’s this sort of thing that I thought the likes of Twitter could have used to at least generate some kind of incoming revenue.
