Example on how to use

1. SMS Info-Line This is an SMS channel product by which a subscriber can send a keyword as an SMS, and would by this, get information on the topic requested.

For example, a subscriber could send an SMS to receive quotes on such topics as LOVE, BUSINESS, WISDOM, PRAYER, FoCUS etc. He could also receive the current time, date and weather forecast. He could also make a request to be informed on historical events that took place on the same date.

The possibilities of this information service are endless – and since the content is generic [not copyrighted], it will be original and appeal to the user.

It could also evolve to the IVR and USSD channels.

Youth Market, Information Lovers

2. Media Downloads

content as Premiership Goals, Jokes, simple

film clips and slides.

Youth Market, Fashion & Sports Lovers

N50 SMS & MMS-over-HTTP Subscribers will request via SMS shortcode and get the

content delivered to them via MMS.


3. Song SMS A subscriber dials a number – might be a short-code or a long-code. The user goes through the normal IVR menu system and is prompted to input the phone number (MSISDN in Telecoms language) of the recipient. S/He then leaves a message, prompted to save or record again before exiting.

S/He also has the option of choosing a pre-recorded sound track.

The recipient gets a notification via SMS to dial a number to access the message. The SMS also contains the clarification that the number is toll-free.

This solution will warm itself into the hearts of lovers who want to drop sweet messages for their loved ones. It is also good for campaigning.
