Enjoying Premium Rated SMS MessagesSMS messaging is becoming an increasingly popular method of communication. Still, many people do not realize that there is such a thing as premium rated short messages, also known as PSMS. With this special type of SMS messaging, the subscriber is charged extra for the ability to receive special content. Premiums SMS messages are becoming more and more popular for their real world applications. For example, a consumer can use premium SMS messaging in order to pay for items from a vending machine. This is made possible by sending a premium-rated SMS message to add the cost of the item to the user’s phone bill. Or, the vending machine can send a message to the consumer’s prepaid card in order to have the amount of the purchased item deducted. Although premium SMS messaging has the potential to be quite convenient for consumers, some consumer groups have been raising questions about the practice. Mainly, consumer groups are concerned about the exceedingly large telephone bills that may result from these services. For this reason, some mobile networks are requiring their users to contact their providers in order to allow premium SMS messages to reach them. More recently, “free premium” SMS messaging and “hybrid premium” SMS messaging have begun emerging. With these services, text-service websites get in touch with consumers that have opted-in to their service. For example, some sites make it possible for users to receive a free text message whenever a specific item goes on sale. Or, they may receive a special text message letting them know when a new item is introduced that they may be interested in. These services are both convenient and free to users, creating the ideal mixture of two worlds. The Messaging Centre offers everything you need to setup a browser-based SMS messaging facility.
