Mobile billing with Integrat isn’t only cost effective, but also environmentally friendly. So, whether it is green bucks you are after or you simply love our green South African trees – mobile communication is the green way to go. Companies spend thousands each year on paper products – envelopes, invoices, bills etc. It is a huge waste of money as customers generally read these documents once or twice and then throw it away. Snail mail has also long since been an ineffective way of communicating with your clientele as you have no way of knowing if they actually received their documents. Mobile billing allows you to send mobile statements to your clientele. It is very convenient for them and unbelievably cost effective for you. Mobile billing benefits Reach: no matter where your clientele lives, as long as they have access to a phone or the internet they can receive their monthly statement. Control: it also allows you to have more control over how and when your customers receive your communication. Rule out the “lost in the mail” excuse. These messages can be tracked and you can confirm if a customer did indeed receive the message or not. Accessibility: people always carry their mobile phones with them. Mobile billing saves them the time and money to track their monthly statements down. Also should they move and forget to update their physical address – no problem. People generally try to keep their cell phone numbers the same, so you will be able to reach them even if they relocate. Timely: your clientele can receive their monthly statements on time. Many people...

One of the services that Integrat provides is mobile cost of the SMS message received. Reverse-billed SMS messages are only sent if specifically requested by the phone user. A daily weather alert is an example of a service where regular reverse-billed messages are received because the user requested the service. What if the user doesn’t want the service anymore? Providers are required by law or regulation to provide a means of opting out of a service once it has been commenced. Most typically, this is achieved by sending a stop message (most typically, simply STOP or NO) to the same number as the service itself.
