Is it possible to have a sms short code, and when people text it (I) get a fee. I am looking to set up a once off service, could you recommend any providers if this is possible. thanks tom

the only way to make money is on volume. That's why media organisations use them - coz they can get the volume.

Dint forget there are a lot of people clipping the ticket, mobile operators, service provider, VAT etc.
