SMS for Charities - SMS fundraising

The smstextgiving service is a tool for charities to use to capture donations via a £1.50/£3.00 premium rate reverse bill text message.

It is very simple to use. Once we have set up a keyword in the system, donors just need to send a text message to 84424 followed by the agreed keyword. The donor receives a return message, which triggers the deduction from their mobile phone account, or credit balance in the case of pre-pay.  There is also a facility to capture a further £1.50/£3.00 donation on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis.

A variety of customised applications are possible, including:

If you have a particular requirement in mind, please get in touch and discuss it with us: we have already developed customised applications for a number of charities.
