Title: UK People : dubcnn daily/weekly news updates via Text/SMS > PLEASE READ
Post by: Rud on September 14, 2005, 02:53:10 AM
Ok, im looking at using an SMS service on dubcnn whereby readers can register to a service that will send out an SMS message with latest headlines and information on new contests/interviews. Anyone who subscribed would also get exclusives (to be decided what and how)

How many of you would be interested? I know cost is an issue, im not sure as of yet what it would be - say it was 10p a received message (never more than one a day or 5 a week) or something or a subscription payment weekly/monthly?

Please hit up in here if you would be interested and your thoughts? This will greatly improve dubcnn's visability to the public so your support is both vital and appreciated....

good thinkin, but I think that the readers of dubcnn wont really need that, when they could just check the site, im sure those who read dubcnn do it almost daily aswell making this idea unecessary? just my thoughts..

Great idea but i wouldnt want to get loads of texts a week, or have to pay a subscription.

There would b a charge per txt, how many would you consider reasonable?
Yea uk only at the moment! I see what you mean but it would help us do new things with the revenue and visability. I know most people check the site daily but lots dont, its those id be hoping on i know, but itd be nice if some of our 'core' audience took part too!

na it would be standard network rate, 10p, jeez i know about text scammers im not about to set one up! just to help more people keep up to date (like an RSS feed in their hands) at a standard fee, they can set the volume of texts they wish to receive!

It will help toward dubcnn paying for itself, it costs me a small fortune you would not beleive and to spread the name more - once i get these UK gigs in order ill be expecting yall to pay the £10-15 entry fee, WCC people who come down will get a pint off me too ;)
