Charging Customers By Text Messaging

    I've seen the commercials on television where you text a code to a company and you get charged through your phone bill for tips on meeting girls or ringtones or whatever.

    There's also a couple companies I've found that do this.

    My question is, does anyone here have any information on how you actually work this out with the phone company and get yourself setup to charge customers by text?

    I know it's possible, I just really don't know where to start.

    Thank you!

    Most of the companies that offer this kind of charge have sample scripts for most of the things that you will need to charge on your site. Actually you do not make a contract with the phone company, the contract is with the website that provides you the short number for texting, the scripts and so.

    After all you will get from 40 to 70% of the price from the text message.

    We aren't selling the product, we are going to be taking a percentage of clients who sell their products through us.
