Can anyone point me in the direction of an SMS provider that can help with a charitable trust that needs to raise money. I have seen donations by texting used elsewhere (e.g. donate £1 by texting to a premium number) but no idea who the provider was. Many thanks.

Hi Martyn
I suspect pretty much all the mobile platform providers could do this for you, so it might be a matter of who can provide this to you at the right sort of cost .
If you look back through the presentations from our Supplier Showcases (at http://www.e-consultancy.com/knowledge/events/supplier-showcases.asp?showArchive=true) and look at the Mobile Marketing ones then you'll see a range of companies including most of the "usual suspects" in this space.

Hi Martyn,
Incentivated currently provide a text to donate solution to a number of leading charities in the UK such as Macmillan Cancer Support & The Children's Society. I would be happy to supply you with some information and a very competitive quote. We can build and host a GA WAPsite so that your charity could potentially increase all donation values with minimum effort. We also offer marketing support to ensure that you generate the maximum number of responses and therefore donations as possible. Feel free to give me a call and we can discuss in more depth. Best Wishes. Zoe
