SMPP: Short Message Peer to Peer has 98.9% delivery rate and is always used with a short code. Pricing on SMPP starts at 6 cents and goes down to 3 cents.
Both are based on volumes. SMPP services require a monthly agreement with short code. Minimum 3 months.
Short Codes: Are the 5 to 6 digit codes used for premium and non premium opt ins. Short numbers that are easy to remember. Premiums have a fee that is charged to the end user. Example text RINGTONE to 12345 this service is 1.99 per ringtone. Non premiums are free to the end user. This is an easy opt in for the consumer to register for your text alerts. You must always offer an opt out feature. Premiums codes require you to fill out a program brief which is then reviewed by the carriers so they can approve your content. TellMyCell can handle the entire process for you.

Voice Blasting: TellMyCell also provides voice blasting. This is a way to send out mass voice calls in seconds. Either to a landline or cell phone. This is done through our VOIP gateway.
Mobile Coupons Paper vouchers and coupons have had their day, but now the mobile channel makes more sense. By way of unique offer codes, vouchers and coupons remain on consumers' phones once received, vastly improving uptake rates. Later in a retail outlet, consumers can take advantage of special offers simply by displaying the appropriate promo or matrix code to the retailer. Distributing coupons and vouchers to consumers via SMS can drastically reduce costs associated with a campaign. Moreover, because each mobile coupon has a unique number, uptake is traceable down to the individual level, allowing the creation of sophisticated customer profiles for future customized marketing.
Mobile Ticketing Here's a promising idea whose time has come: the distribution of tickets-sports, entertainment, even travel-via SMS and the mobile phone. SMS not only offers significant cost savings for ticketing organizations. It also simplifies tracking the number of tickets sold and distributed. The mobile phone can act as both a payment mechanism and as a delivery channel for tickets. Payment can also be made by other means, with ticket distribution managed via mobile phone. There are many possibilities, all of them working to increase convenience and open up new marketing opportunities.
