TextList
TextList is the simplest possible route to setting-up and
managing your own subscription-oriented,
premium or non-premium (free-to-receive) content service.
If you are looking to run, for example, a news service where you will ask your
clients to sign to your service and receive weekly premium texts, then TextList
is appropriate for you.
Consumers signing up or unsubscribing to your service are automatically managed
for you. All you need to do is to promote your service and login to your
TextAnywhere online account to send your premium content messages to your
subscriber group.
With this approach, you leave the customer management to TextAnywhere and your
focus is on promoting your service and sending the premium content messages.
An example of this service is a client running a subscription-based weather
service. A client subscribes to the service, receives welcome information and
then regular (as appropriate) premium (or free-to-receive) messages about their
local weather. At such time that the user no longer requires the service, they
just unsubscribe, by sending a text with “STOP”, followed by the Keyword,
to the Short Code.
