TextPremium

Cat24 provides a range of free-to-use online applications for organisations wishing to use Short Code mobile numbers (for example, 82029). These Short Code numbers can be used either as a convenient way to enable people to contact you, or as a means to charge mobile phone users for receiving text messages from you – this is known as Reverse Billing.

With a Short Code service, you don’t have to charge someone a premium for interacting with your Short Code – it’s your choice as the service provider. You may just want to offer your clients an easy way of contacting you by SMS.

Alternatively, perhaps you would like to charge a mobile phone user for entering your competition, sending in a vote, or for receiving premium content (perhaps football results, astrology information or news).

With Reverse Billing, the cost of the service is charged to the mobile phone user, with a proportion of the charge being received back by you as the content provider, as an Out-payment.

TextPremium enables you to set-up and manage your Short Code service from your online account with us. You can setup a simple auto-response for people who wish to contact you by SMS, run competitions, votes, or a subscription service.
