Using the free tools supplied by MCTEL, you will add easily SMS functions to your Web site and generate additional income using the affiliation program:

  • become an affiliate by adding a smsfax.com banner to your Web: you will earn a 7% share on all revenue generated through your links. Depending on your Web content and audience, you could either add a www.smsfax.com banner giving access to the general public and professional SMS send features, banner giving access to the ringtones, logos, pictures download.
  • send a SMS to one or several recipients, using all advanced features offered by mobile networks: deferred sending, flash mode (immediate display on the mobile screen), binary data (ringtones, logos, vCard or vCalendar data), Push-Wap or OTA requests... The SMS send request may be:
    • requested by a Web application (cgi or php script, Webservice, and so on.) to a specified recipient. For example, after collecting user data on a form to be processed urgently, a SMS could be sent to the perform in charge of data processing.
    • proposed to Web users to allow them to send SMS to the recipients of their choice. In the same way than on www.smsfax.com, your Web users will be able to send text or multimedia messages by SMS. Internet access providers, mobile or fixed line phone operators may charge their users monthly for service use or choose to request prior payment before sending.
  • send multimedia MMS data to the mobile using the Wap Push function: your Web could send pictures, polyphonic ringtones, Java JM2E applications, give access to a Premium Wap services, and so on...
  • check the current status of a previously sent SMS, returning precise timestamp of reception date by the recipient mobile phone or error cause if applicable.
  • in some countries, it is possible to take advantage of the Premium SMS payment service offered by mobile phone operators to have users paying you small amounts during SMS requests (usually in the range from 0.10 to 5 US$ or €, refer to the SMS Whitepaper for a complete information). When the Premium SMS e-payment is used, the network mobile operators will charge their mobile subscriber an additional fee for each send or received Premium SMS, will collect the monies on the behalf of the SMS information providers, and will pay the information providers. This Premium immediate and safe e-payment method could be used to:
    • request payment before giving access to a given Web page: in this case, before displaying a paying content (database search result page, binary content, and so on), your Web service will display an intermediate payment request Web page asking the user to send a Premium SMS to a shortcode to trigger the payment and access the paying Web page. You Web service has easy to use tools to display the payment request page and check the effective SMS payment.
    • process incoming SMS requests sent by mobile users to trigger any kind of processing (e.g. search on your Web data) and send back by SMS the result. You could yourself develop the SMS processing functions using our API or we may configure automatically our SMS/Web gateway to perform this processing automatically. This method is a very convenient way to resell easily and quickly data already processed by your Web service.
