Hi, does anyone know how these work? I work for the Wellington Asthma Society and am looking at setting up a fundraiser based around txt donations i.e TXT GASPING to 9876 to donate $3.
From what I have been able to find so far the costs are very high due to there been a middleman between the provider (Vodafone, Telecom, Telstraclear, and NZ Comms) and the Charity.
I am guessing that the middlemen are using software to sort the txts out and get the $$. I am wondering if it is possible to get the software.

Cheers

Murray

The software by its self is no good. This will not set up routing/billing for a short code. There is alot more to it just dont even try bypassing the correct path. Contact run the red.

Good luck.

Was trying to get in touch with them about six months ago - multiple phone calls, emails, calls to staff (?!?) on mobile.  Never received any information back.

If you do get through, ask them to respond to my queries please.
