A short and memorable number allows incoming communication from an otherwise unknown lead. Let potential customers, users or other stakeholders contact you.
Five-digit Short Codes or MSISDN numbers are billed at a pre-determined, advertised, and higher than normal rate. Available on Cell-C, MTN, Telkom Mobile and Vodacom. Network operators have introduced a series of Short Codes with price ranges to suit any budget.
The revenue generated by using a premium rated SMS line is shared between the Short Codes owner, the mobile operator, and Limitech. The revenue share depends on the price band and the network.
Each network pays out a different amount according to their own revenue share models (see below), but a minimum monthly volume of 500 messages will be required before SMSPortal will pass on any revenue to clients.

Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) is a protocol used by GSM cellular telephones to communicate with the service provider’s computers. USSD can be used for WAP browsing, prepaid callback service, mobile-money services, location-based content services, menu-based information services, and as part of configuring the phone on the network.
USSD messages are up to 182 alphanumeric characters in length. Unlike Short Message Service (SMS) messages, USSD messages create a real-time connection during a USSD session. The connection remains open, allowing a two-way exchange of a sequence of data. This makes USSD more responsive than services that use SMS.
The user composes a message on the phone keyboard. The phone sends it to the phone company network, where it is received by a computer dedicated to USSD. The answer from this computer is sent back to the phone. The answer could be seen on the phone screen, but it is usually with a very basic presentation. The messages sent over USSD are not defined by any standardization body, so each network operator can implement whatever it finds suitable for its customers.
USSD can be used to provide independent calling services such as a callback service (e.g. cheaper phone charges while roaming), enhance mobile marketing capabilities, or interactive data service (e.g. stock quotes, sports results).
USSD is commonly used by pre-paid GSM cellular phones to query the available balance. The vendor’s “check balance” application hides the details of the USSD protocol from the user. On some pay as you go networks, once a user performs an action that costs money, they see a USSD message with their new balance. USSD can also sometimes be used to refill user’s money balance on phone (SIM card to be exact) and to deliver One Time Passwords or PIN codes.
Some operators use USSD to provide access to real-time updates from social-networking websites like Facebook.
USSD is sometimes used in conjunction with SMS: the user sends a request to the network via USSD, and the network replies with an acknowledgement of receipt e.g.
Subsequently, one or more Mobile Terminated SMS messages communicate the status and/or results of the initial request.
In such cases, SMS is used to “push” a reply or updates to the handset when the network is ready to send them.
In contrast, USSD is used for command-and-control only.
The Voice SMS (Automated Voice Message) is a personalized pre-recorded message that is broadcasted to thousands of cell phones or landlines in a short period of time.
Included is the possibility for the recipient of the call to interact or to be diverted to a call center by using the phone’s keypad.
Easy to implement, the voice message can quickly be integrated in your communication strategy.
Be proactive, don’t wait for customers to contact you.
