• Subscription Services

  Running a news, sports score or event service? Amplefuture can set up a subscription service where people can sign up to receive the ongoing information service and you earn revenue from every message they receive. People subscribe to a service by texting a word into a five–digit shortcode number and receive the service until they unsubscribe by texting STOP. Amplefuture provides a website administration area to easily manage the campaign, control membership, assign keywords, distribute messages and manage customer services.

• Voting

  People can vote by text. This may be used as part of a marketing campaign or it can also be used to generate revenue if premium SMS is used.

• SMS Chat

  SMS chat is good for one–to–one interactions being charged to customers. Amplefuture allows companies to manage their own message via a web-based interface or messages can be answered by Amplefuture's professional operators.

It's GR8 to Aggregate

Ready to send that text/SMS campaign to consumers across the country? It pays to leverage Amplefuture's text aggregation capabilities. In simple terms, Amplefuture connects directly to each mobile network operator and maintains connectivity agreements with several large SMS aggregators so that we can provide blanket geographical SMS coverage and can switch between SMS delivery paths to suit our clients' requirements for service reliability and cost.

There are several bottom–line benefits to working with an aggregator of aggregators:

• Speed of Delivery

  SMS is a "store and forward" messaging technology, which means that when message servers get busy they will store the message until there is spare capacity in the network. Not all networks in all territories are configured the same, but in principle a network may have say 6 SMS centres in their network. If your connection to that network is connected through a busy server it can be delayed. By connecting to multiple aggregators Amplefuture has more entry points into different SMS centres in each network. For campaigns with millions of messages, working this way spreads the load and more importantly, detect delays and attempt to circumvent them.

• Pricing Options to Suit

  SMS aggregation offers multiple and flexible options to get high levels of service at competitive prices.

• Service Reliability

  Amplefuture is connected to all the major networks and SMS aggregators so if one isn't available, there are others to tap.
