I am looking to see what ideas users have in regards to the cheapest way to provide a SMS Reverse Billing Option for Competition/Voting idea.
Do anyone have any ideas?
I can offer people who are interested in the following:
1 Keyword to Short Code 8xxxx for £35 Per Month (Minimum 1 month contract) then £2.5 Per extra keyword
Revenue depends on rates charged. No need for ICSTIS if not adult content.
Anyone got any ideas and we could possible work together on something. Put a few heads together and share the work load.

"No need for ICSTIS if not adult content"
There is always "need" for ICSTIS, regardless of your content, if you're operating a premium rate service.
£35 sounds inexpensive for a keyword, but what exactly are they getting for their money? I think you should define your offer more explicitly...

As I said Richard.H , there is no need for ICSTIS, that part is already sorted out. Obviously you must stick to their rules and guidelines. I'm saying no need to get certificate. But obviously you would sign terms and conditions.
Well it seems you understand the most offer. What exactly is it you think your not getting? It is easier to discuss this with people who actually are interested in taking up the service.
It is a cheap service, but the payout/commision rate is not the highest, but its quite competitive.
So Richard.H. Do you have any ideas, suggestions for this service?
I also am looking for advice, ideas, suggestions...

I misunderstood your ICSTIS comment: i thought you were condoning ignoring their guidelines, rather than a certification issue.
I understand your service, because i'm both a programmer and involved in the industry.
Perhaps explain what you're offering people... are you going to forward all requests to my own server, or perhaps you've got a nice admin for me to see all the messages, with graphs and other statistics? Do you have a 'triggered' response message? What price points, MO or MT? Can you compile me a list of CLIs? Provide me with a marketing service?
etc etc.
There are a lot of variables that might influence someone's decision to purchase your service.
I'm not personally in need of your service, but i know that if i were, i'd want to know a lot more about the specifics before making a decision.

Your getting a bit too technical. CLI's.. Ok my comms knowledge is growing slowly. I would offer an admin, no graphs but exportable CSV file to use with access or excel to show stats. I wouldn't provide a marketing service, but thats a thought.
Price points? MO or MT?
True there are quite a few variable, but I am in the process of outlining the whole sevice in a guide.
