Premium Messaging Product Description:

Widespread use of text (SMS) and multimedia (MMS) messaging has made it an attractive method for brands and media companies to market to and interact with consumers. Companies that want to market or interact with consumers via text messaging can set up short codes which serve as addresses to and from which text messages can be sent and received.

Verizon Wireless Premium Messaging platform allows content providers to provide VzW Subscribers with access to Premium Content such as

  • Alerts, Jokes, Ringtones, Wallpaper, etc.
  • Content delivered via SMS and MMS
  • Vzw and non-VzW Branded campaigns.

Subscriber Accesses Content via SMS Common Short Code or via Web Store

  • SMS is addressed to a 5 or 6 Digit Short Code and texts in Keyword of Desired Content within the SMS body.
  • Content is available via approved web store fronts.

Verizon Wireless has authorized a small number of third party companies, Interactive Messaging Aggregators, to act as single integration points to Verizon Wireless in support of interactive messaging services. Please refer to our Premium Messaging Referral sheet for more information on our approved premium SMS and MMS aggregators.
