mBILL Platform for Premium SMS in the USA

mBILL core Premium SMS USA features:

• Bill end-users for receiving SMS Text Messages
The mBILL Platform (IR-Web) is a sophisticated gateway platform with the ability to send automated Premium SMS messages. With direct connections to wireless carriers, we can deliver text messages to all top US carriers and many international destinations who support Premium SMS.

• Let us handle Subscriber Management
txtNation has built a sophisticated permission management system to meet the ever changing carrier requirements. The system allows customers to implement a per-carrier business logic to deal with opt-in, help, opt-out, capping of monthly charges, phone number changes, refunds, etc. The mBILL Permission Systems is integrated with the mBILL gateway platform and handles carrier requirements in a fully transparent way. Our customers need not worry about implementing carrier specific rules into their applications. txtNation will handle it for them.

• Generate immediate revenue with a variety of tariff rates
txtNation supports all tariff rates of all carriers, giving customers the flexibility to decide which tariff is best suited for their premium service. The charge to the end-user appears on their monthly mobile phone bill, or is deducted from their pre-paid credit.

• Select your own Common Short Code
Premium SMS requires the use of a 5 or 6 digit Common Short Code. These short codes are more easily memorable than premium rate numbers. txtNation's routing platform fully supports routing based on Common Short Codes.

• Dynamic reverse number look-up
Customers no longer need to ask their end-users which wireless carrier they are subscribed to. We can look up the carrier based on phone number and route the messages accordingly. txtNation also provides customers with a look-up interface that allows them to query the carrier information without sending a text message. The results are guaranteed correct, even when the end-user has ported his existing number to a different carrier. You will never lose your customer again!

• Integrated with most operating systems
The IR-We platform is accessible through the public Internet by either submitting requests or, for the advanced SMS application developers, SMPP requests. This allows your existing Unix, Linux, or Windows systems to integrate easily with the gateway platform.

• Multipart SMS messaging for long text messages
The IR-WEB platform fully supports message concatenation for sending text messages that are longer than the maximum text limit (typically 160 characters). These different message parts are automatically glued back together by the receiving phone.

• Support for SMS ringtones, operator logos, group graphics, picture messaging, and EMS
The mBILL platform is capable of sending any of the above content types to end-users’ phones. Some of the content types require specific handsets. The end-user is billed when they actually receive the content on their phone (note: subject to carrier approval.).

• Support for MMS
The QMP platform supports the sending and billing of MMS messages. Through the industry standard MM7 SOAP API, customers can submit their MMS content, or a link to the content to us, and we take care of the delivery and the billing. The billing is completed through a Premium SMS transaction following successful download of the MMS content. (note: subject to carrier approval.)

• Ability to bill for WAP content download
Customers can now bill end-users for WAP content (such as Java games, polyphonic ringtones, true tones, etc.). The transaction is initiated with a WAP Push message, which gets Premium charged to the end-user’s phone bill. (note: subject to carrier approval.)

• Integrated billing solution WEB content
Through txtNation's integrated mPUSH solution, web content providers can now bill end-users for premium content, accessible through their website.

• End-to-end solution for interactive television
Use Premium SMS to allow your viewers to participate in a live television event. Give them the possibility to vote, to chat, to voice their opinions, to play games, etc. The possibilities are endless. txtNation offers a full end-to-end solution for broadcasters and producers who want to embed text messaging into their programs and turn also-ran content into leading edge productions, driven by the audience.

• Full and detailed reporting
