If you have ever received a text message that you have had to pay for then you have been involved in a process called reverse SMS billing. In standard SMS billing, the company sending the message is the one that has to pay for the transaction. In reverse SMS billing, the mobile customer pays for the transaction.
Why would a mobile phone user want to pay for SMS billing? There are actually quite a few times when SMS billing has its place in the lives of mobile consumers. Some basic examples include:
Customers want to receive specific mobile content and are willing to pay for it. For example, a customer may want to receive text messages alerting them about the day’s weather, the changes in the stock market or the latest horoscope.
Customers want to make a one-time or ongoing donation to a cause that they support. They are willing to pay a small SMS billing fee in order to be able to easily make their donation with their mobile phone instead of through some other charitable method.
Customers want to cast a vote for something. In the world of American Idol, many text messages customers are interested in voting by cell phone. In some cases, SMS billing may be appropriate for this.
Customers may be texting to enter a competition. Some customers are willing to pay a small fee to enter various competitions via SMS. The convenience of being able to enter the competition from anywhere as long as they have their phones with them is worth the cost.
Both traditional SMS billing and reverse SMS billing definitely have their place in the mobile world that we operate in today.

It may seem weird to have a trade show so close to Christmas, but it is a common sight here around the holidays. Retailers from all over our state come to the arena here in this small town to set up trade show displays and sell their wares to the town residents.
It is a huge hit, and since it is a farming community, we get people from miles away who drive in to do their Christmas shopping. At the sale you will find everything from children’s toys, to farm equipment, and even during the last few years people have sold livestock here.
It is one of the highlights of the year for the town, and yet it is one of the most tiring times of the year for me. This is our fifth year having a trade show exhibit here, and though profitable, it is getting harder to run as I get older.
We sell a lot of metal puzzles that we have created at our shop in the big city, and it just amazes me how many we sell each year. In fact, the sales that we make at this event are almost similar to the sales we make during the entire year back at our shop (which has low foot traffic since it is in an industrial area).
Needless to say, I will be happy in eight hours once the tradeshow is done for the year. It will be nice to sit down during the Christmas break – these old feet are tired.
