Premium Rate SMS is a simple way for consumers to pay for services and products via their mobile handsets. Consumers are simply charged for sending and receiving a premium rate text message. The charge will usually be above the normal SMS charges and therefore an effective method to generate revenue.
Premium Services can include competitions, promotions, TV voting, SMS chat or mobile content pur- chases such as ringtones, games and screensavers. Popular content items in Kenya include WhatsApp wall papers, videos and music downloads, soccer alerts, dating services, games and anti-virus services.
