Mobile Commerce Service (RA-MCS)
The use of cell-phone text messaging is becoming a preferred medium
of communication in certain market segments for providing valuable
information to customers looking to maximize their experiences at
theme parks, sporting events, or during travel. Through its Mobile
Commerce Service (RA-MCS), ReadyAlert™ has taken what it have
learned from its emergency-alert notification service and adapted
it for use in the rapidly growing mobile e-commerce marketplace.
New technology in the wireless e-Commerce arena has made it easier
for people to register for specific events using their cell phones.
Common Short Codes (CSC) can be used as a simple means to text a message
to a short number using the cell phone. This allows for easy registry
into the RA-MCS service. New payment methods, such as Premium Short
Message Service (PSMS), which can provide a simple and secure payment
platform through reverse billing, are also available. Cell-phone customers
receive the service fees on their wireless bills. Bill collections
are done by the wireless carriers. RA-MCS has three distinct products:
