How to Set Up Text SMS Promotions


1. Assemble a list of numbers to be included in your promotion. These can be gathered from existing customers, visitors to your shop, guest comment cards or any other method that allows a customer to leave his cell phone number for the purposes of receiving promotional messages from you in the future.
2. Choose a text message service. There are many available, and a sample link is provided with this article. You will generally be able to choose from an interactive two-way service or a broadcast one-way service. A broadcast is an informational message like a commercial, while an interactive service encourages the receiver to respond to the message and is better for promotional contests or promotions limited to a set number of respondents.
3. Sign up for the service by clicking the appropriate link on the text message service's website. Some services will offer a free trial. For more complex and longer campaigns, you may want to speak to a representative to set up the service.
4. Provide the service with your company name, your message and your list of numbers. For an interactive service, you may want to compose a response message to send the customers once they respond to your message.
5. Follow the steps to complete the registration once you have entered the initial information. You will have to verify what time and date you want the message sent out, then be given a user name and password that will allow you to review the data on your sent messages and responses. Once the account is set up, you can run more campaigns easily using the online forms.

How to Track Cell Phone Activity


1. Order an application that will monitor cell phone usage. My Mobile Watchdog, for example, has two types of software: Software that is installed on the phone and a Web page where you can view usage details. Parents can edit or delete content from their child's phone via the Web page. You can also block certain applications from being downloaded with this software. For example, you can completely block or password-protect the Web browser or instant-messaging capabilities on your child's phone.
2. Visit a website that will let you track cell phone usage, such as PublicPeopleFinder.com. With this website, you can find calls made from a particular cell phone number, both local and long distance. You will be shown one month's worth of phone calls, as well as the duration of each call and the time and date that the call was placed. If you use this service, an e-mail with the information will be sent to you within three days, and the person whose cell phone usage you're tracking will not be notified of the search. Keep in mind that this service can be pricey, as you're hiring a private investigator to find out this information.
3. Review your phone bill either online or using the paper billing statement. While your phone bill should show all activity, including time and length of calls, you may have to wait before the month's bill is posted.
