Smart Meter / M2M SMS monetisation
09 May 2013
Smart Meters - British Gas (Centrica), Eon and many more are at it now with more to follow I'm sure, introducing Smart Meters in to homes and businesses around the country. New technology? No, not really.
Smart meters like this from First Utility are to replace existing gas and electricity meters.
M2M (machine to machine) communications have been around for years, silently chirping information about their system status, usage, supply levels and so on back to head office over the airwaves. Normally this is achieved by having a SIM card (yes, just like that which is in your mobile phone) embedded in the hardware - this then uses either data transmitted via GPRS/3G or traditional SMS.
Usually a cost centre for these units, with a monthly rental cost, data cost, SMS cost or a combination of all three, manufacturers of the units and their customers have to play off having regular up to date information vs the ongoing cost of these communications.
Smart Meter / M2M monitisation
Turning these communications in to a profit centre is the wish of many which can now be realised in the United Kingdom, Spain and Sweden with more countries to follow. SMS are directed towards a dedicated range of virtual numbers, with these securely passed back to your servers as normal.
Direct Carrier relationships enable these inbound SMS to be monetised through the sharing of the pre-existing interconnections fees. These interconnection fees are generated when messages pass from one mobile network to another - normally something which the mobile networks keep for themselves.
This service does not use special premium rate numbers, or numbers which originate from another country so there would be no increased SMS rates to pay and can come from inclusive allowances.
To discuss your M2M or Smart Meter services, their SMS needs, and how these can be integrated in order to create a new revenue centre, please contact us.

World Text Server Upgrade...
26 Mar 2013
It seems common for planned server upgrades to result in hours of unplanned downtime, and lengthy post incident reports explaining why large chunks of infrastructure disappeared off the web. We're very pleased to report that none of this proved necessary during our recent server upgrade.
World Text recently spent many weeks preparing for an upgrade of the main API server. Backups were made, transfers were tested, migration was tested, time and again. Much time was spent choosing the time to migrate so as to have minimal impact on volume customers, which is rather challenging with a 24/7 service.
Significant efforts were made to optimise the migration scripts and process to minimise downtime, and so achieve migration in the shortest time practicable.
When time came for the actual switchover, everyone was prepared and waiting, and the data migrated smoothly. Nagios briefly turned red across the board.
Actual downtime of approximately two minutes (backup and failover systems continued to function as normal).
A minor issue was found with email, but that automatically failed over to the secondary server, so no messages were delayed more than a few seconds.
One customer noticed the server wasn't there in the brief 2 min outage, but his messages were delivered successfully via the failover systems.
So, there you have it. A server migration of our core infrastructure, and nothing broke. Two weeks later and everything is functioning smoothly without interruption.
Sorry for the dull read! Though we were rather relieved it was so.

Do you comply with SMS marketing regulations?
08 Oct 2012
As SMS being used as a marketing tool has continued to grown at an exponential rate, complying with regulations surrounding contacting users has become evermore important.
From the Information Commissioner's Office website:
In other words, do not send text messages to any number other than those which you have legitimately been given by your customer during your previous dealings with them, or that they have opted-in with by invitation by you to receive SMS. Good methods for building your database is to include opt-in keywords on a non-premium short code i.e. "Text ALERTS to 84101 for regular updates" on all your marketing material, signage etc.
Never buy lists, download numbers from the internet or use databases that you may have been given in the past to send marketing SMS to.
Now you have your legitimate contact database and are happy that the recipients are happy to hear from you by SMS, you have to given them an opportunity to opt-out from receiving further SMS. The best method of doing this is by using a keyword on a non-premium short code i.e. append your SMS with "to stop SMS send ALERTSTOP to 84101".
As soon as you receive a request to stop sending SMS messages from any number you must remove them from your database. It is however good policy and manors to reply immediately acknowledging this request and confirm their number has been removed.
For further information on opt-in and opt-out keywords on a non-premium short code please contact us or view the short code page here.
This article is only a guideline and is specifically aimed at the United Kingdom, for other countries you should consult the appropriate governing body.
As SMS being used as a marketing tool has continued to grown at an exponential rate, complying with regulations surrounding contacting users has become evermore important.From the Information Commissioner's Office website:
What does the law say?
The Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 cover the way organisations send direct marketing by electronic means, including by text message (SMS).
Organisations cannot send you marketing text messages you didn’t agree to receive, unless:
- the sender has obtained your details through a sale or negotiations for a sale;
- the messages are about similar products or services offered by the sender; and
- you were given an opportunity to refuse the texts when your details were collected and, if you did not refuse, you were given a simple way to opt out in all the text messages you received.
(The Regulations do not cover marketing text messages sent to business numbers.)
