Short numbers cannot be bought, they can only be rented temporarily. Such a service is provided by cellular operators, but this way of acquiring a number is extremely undesirable, since it is extremely long, troublesome, expensive and risky. It is much easier, faster and more profitable to get a short number with the help of a mobile marketing agency.
Instructions
Step 1
Decide for what purpose you will use the purchased short number. The tasks that he will perform will determine who you should contact: a mobile marketing agency or a content provider. If you need to organize a large-scale project in several regions, as well as fully develop and then implement a campaign from start to finish, contact a mobile marketing agency. If you are interested in hosting a local event, contact your content provider.
Step 2
Write a description of your project in free form, or better write a business plan. Explain in writing what the essence of your project is, what the short code will be used for, what target audience the project is intended for, and whether you are planning any promotional activities. This information is necessary for the contractor in order to assess the technical side of the issue and, possibly, adjust your project.
Step 3
Agree with the contractor how the technical interaction will be set up. If you do not understand this issue, instruct the contractor to program the logic of the service in accordance with the terms of reference.
Step 4
Sign a contract with a contractor that will oblige him to provide technical support for your event during the event. Make sure that the contract includes a clause on providing you with interim and final reports and a database of telephone numbers of subscribers who took part in the promotion.
