Channel Mobile formerly traded as AppointMate from 2002 to May 2008. The rebranding was implemented to move the mobile marketing company to a brand name that encompassed our full range of messaging software solutions. The brand AppointMate lives on in our premium Outlook based corporate SMS solution, AppointMate Pro.

AppointMate was formed to develop and supply SMS based service and marketing tools to small to medium sized corporates. MessageMate was the pioneer product, a stand alone desktop SMS application that achieved remarkable success in the motor industry.

AppointMate Pro was launched on the back of MessageMate’s success. AppointMate Pro allows corporates to seamlessly SMS enable Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express - you are able to send SMS using Outlook in minutes. The understanding, adoption and usage of AppointMate Pro is intuitive as not only is it located in the users e-mail client as a toolbar, but the look, feel and operation of the SMS window is the same as an e-mail.

AppointMate Pro took SMS functionality, delivery and reporting services to a whole new level.

By partnering with Galileo and Travelsoft AppointMate introduced SMS-eT for Travel Agencies.

During AppointMate’s growth Premium Rate SMS was added to our product mix allowing clients the functionality to generate sales leads, compile databases and create revenue. AppointMate creates and configures dedicated premium rate SMS numbers that clients append to their marketing material, thereby allowing customers to send SMS requests creating a two way communication channel.

Whilst AppointMate was increasing its product offering to the marketplace a SMS API was introduced to allow businesses to SMS enable their own software solutions in house. Businesses are able to connect directly to the SMS gateway via SMTP, HTTP or HTTPS.

May 2008 saw the rebranding of AppointMate to Channel Mobile. The rebranding was necessary to fully communicate the range of additional mobile solutions that we are now able to offer clients.

Following the tradition of AppointMate, Channel Mobile is pioneering a new aspect of communication – WAP. We have successfully developed and launched systems that allow WAP Push Messaging from PC to mobile phone, WAP Billing Solutions allowing consumers to make credit card payments from their mobile phone and Mobile Websites (Mobisites).

With the increased penetration of Internet enabled mobile phones into the South African market and the low PC based internet penetration rates, WAP is set to become the most cutting edge, penetrative and cost effective communication medium. Corporates are able to interact, show case products and create purchase decisions all on the consumer’s mobile phone.

The User will not act, or omit to act, in any way likely to injure or damage any person, property or the Channel Mobile gateway or cause the quality of the premium number lines or Channel Mobile's service in general to be impaired or interrupted in any manner whatsoever.

Channel Mobile shall be entitled, at any time, and without liability to the User or any third party, to modify, expand, improve, maintain or repair the Channel Mobile service, notwithstanding that this may require suspending the operation of the Channel Mobile premium service. Channel Mobile shall use its reasonable endeavors to provide the User with advance notice of any such suspension and to minimize the duration thereof in so far as this is reasonably practical.

The User warrants that their Premium SMS Services do not and will not contravene any laws or regulations of the Republic of South Africa and the User indemnifies, holds harmless and shall defend Channel Mobile against any claim, action or damage suffered or incurred by Channel Mobile as a result of a breach by the User of this warranty.

PLEASE NOTE: In order to ensure that Channel Mobile complies with industry codes of conduct, users are obliged to route all messages related or associated directly or indirectly with any Channel Mobile hosted short code via Channel Mobile's messaging gateway. This will enable Channel Mobile to ensure that all premium rated- and short code messaging services offer the required confirmation messages as stipulated by the various codes of practice and that such messages can be validated as having been submitted. Channel Mobile shall be entitled to immediately terminate the User's services if the User does not comply with the provisions of this clause, without any liability to the User or any third party.

The User will not be entitled to use any of Channel Mobile's trademarks (whether registered or unregistered) or to make reference to Channel Mobile in any advertising, publication or communication related to the Premium SMS Services or otherwise, other than such usage as permitted by Channel Mobile in writing.

Should there not be sufficient credits in the User's account at any time to be subtracted by Channel Mobile for the charges owed to Channel Mobile, Channel Mobile reserves the right to terminate this agreement immediately.

The charges applicable to this service can be requested from Channel Mobile via e-mail by the User.

In the event of any difference between either the records of Channel Mobile, the records of the User or the network's, the figures from the operators shall be deemed to be correct and binding on the User.

6.   ADVERTISING GUIDELINES: PREMIUM RATED SERVICES

This section is only applicable to Users who use the Channel Mobile Premium Rate Service.

For the purposes of this section-

" Network Charges " refer to the tariff charged for the use of the Vodacom Network, e.g. SMS, MMS, USSD, GPRS etc;

" Content/Value Added Service Charges " refer to the tariff charged for the # (choose applicable word) result/message/event etc delivered by the # (insert relevant WASP service name);

This section regulates the manner in which the User must advertise their services

As a User you are selling content to an end-client ("the client"). A contract of sale can only be valid if the buyer and seller agree on the price. Thus, at all times, when faced with a transaction a User must know the full retail price of what it is they are going to buy. Channel Mobile will not tolerate hiding or obscuring the price so that the client is not fully aware of what they are going to pay.   To the extent that it is possible (e.g. on your websites and brochures) the User must include reference to the definitions at the top of this section.

The price stated to the client must state that it is VAT inclusive.

The User must advertise all costs related to the final consumption of the advertised service i.e. network charges as well as content charges.

The font size of the price of content must be in such a size that it is easily visible from the advert. The client must be able to view the price with very little effort.

The price must be located on the advert in such a place that it is easily visible to the client. Essentially the client must be able to see the price when looking at the advert without having to search the advert for the price.   The price may not be hidden in the terms and conditions.

The price may not be stated in some adverts for a service and not in others.

Where a client is given the option to unsubscribe for a service, only network charges should be charged to unsubscribe and premium content rates must not apply.

Where possible the material terms and conditions must be stated in the advert and only where it is not possible to do so, will incorporation by reference be permitted i.e. where reference is made to the terms and conditions being available on a website.

The User is not allowed to use the Channel Mobile logo, trademark, slogan or any other device or form of intellectual property belonging to Channel Mobile in your advertising without the prior written consent of Channel Mobile.

In all advertising where it is possible to do so, the User's name must be stated so that the client is made aware that it is the User and not Channel Mobile that is offering the User's service.   Expressions such as "offered by or bought to you by X (Pty) Ltd" are sufficient.

7. MESSAGE AND OTHER LIMITATIONS

Channel Mobile assumes no responsibility for the deletion or failure to store information. Channel Mobile has set no fixed upper limit on the number of messages the User may send through the Service apart from how many units are left in the User's account; however, Channel Mobile reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to determine whether or not the User's conduct is consistent with the letter and spirit of the Service Agreement and may terminate the Service if the User's conduct is found to be inconsistent with the Agreement. Please see POINT 10 below for more information on procedure at termination of the service. Channel Mobile may, in the future, with prior notification, limit the amount of storage space available to each Member.

Although Channel Mobile prides itself on speedy delivery of messages, messages may be delivered late due to queuing or network traffic. This will still result in the message being seen as "delivered".

8. MEMBER CONDUCT

Any unauthorized commercial use of the Service, is expressly prohibited. The User agrees to abide by all applicable local, national and international laws and regulations and is solely responsible for all acts or omissions that occur under its account or password, including the content of any transmissions through the Service.

9. FEES, PAYMENT AND YOUR RIGHT TO CANCEL

Fees. In consideration for the use of Channel Mobile's services, the User shall pay to Channel Mobile a transaction or subscription fee (as appropriate) for messages delivered or partially delivered using any available delivery method, at the applicable rate then in effect. Channel Mobile may from time to time offer limited time "Free Trial" or similar promotions during which no transaction fees or reduced transaction fees shall apply. Such promotions are intended for Users to test the capabilities of the Service and/or for casual, personal use only. During such promotions, all provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

All fees are payable upfront. Failure to purchase credits upfront will result in suspension of the services. Upfront payment refers to a payment that is made within a reasonable time so as to allow Channel Mobile to add the SMS credits to the User's account.

Payment. Transaction fees are due and payable at the time of or before Channel Mobile delivers a message to the User's recipients, via every method of de livery based upon the billing plan selected by Channel Mobile. Payment shall be deemed to have been made as soon as the fee is available in Channel Mobile's bank account.

Credit Card Payment. If the User has elected to pay for the Service by credit card, and Channel Mobile does not receive payment from the credit card issuer, the User agrees to pay all amounts due, immediately upon demand by Channel Mobile. All amounts are pre-paid and the User agrees to payment and the Terms and Conditions of such payment, when such payment is made. Channel Mobile reserves the right to come to other payment arrangements on a case-by-case basis. (Agreements with the credit card issuer govern use of the User's credit card, and the User must refer to that agreement to ascertain its rights and liabilities as a cardholder.) The User is charged in ZAR. Sales price may change due to currency fluctuations. The final purchase amount is the amount reflected on the Credit Card holder's statement.

Termination or Cancellation by the User. The User is free to terminate or cancel this Agreement at any time, and for any reason; provided, however, for such termination or cancellation to be effective, the User must carry out such termination in accordance with the policies and procedures established by Channel Mobile. Any questions concerning the appropriate method by which to cancel this Agreement, should be addressed to info@channelmobile.co.za.

The User acknowledges that Channel Mobile is dependant on various telecommunications networks and institutions for the delivery of its messages and that Channel Mobile may adjust its prices and offering, should the prices be adjusted due to reasons which are not in Channel Mobile's control. Channel Mobile undertakes to notify the User of such adjustments in writing, prior to implementing such adjustments. Any message units purchased must be used up within 180 days from the date on which it had been purchased. Channel Mobile may extend this period on a case-by-case basis at its sole discretion.

Refunds for branding fees, licenses, monthly administration fees, and any other fee that the User pays to Channel Mobile, which excludes all SMS message credit fees will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis at Channel Mobile’s sole discretion. No refunds will be made for any fees which are not related to SMS message credits.

Credit-based billing principles. Channel Mobile is able to charge variable amounts of credits per message sent through its system. These variable amounts are published on Channel Mobile's coverage pages from time to time, and Channel Mobile charges the published rate when a message is sent through the system. The User may however select the bands or profiles which will apply to specific products, thereby defining the maximum charge per message. The User understands that the number of credits to a specific destination network may change due to various factors, and that Channel Mobile may adjust these rates whenever it deems it necessary to do so. Should the User not have selected a specific band or profile that supports delivery to a specific destination, the User understands and accepts that messages sent may not be delivered to such destinations. Conversely, should the User have chosen specific bands which support a higher credit rate per message, and is not aware that a specific route at the time of sending the message to Channel Mobile will be charged at the said higher rate, the User accepts that he/she/it will be charged at whichever rate was at that stage applicable to the desired destination network or MSISDN number.

HotelCom

Sat, 01 Jan 2000 00:00:00 +0200

HotelCom is a SMS contact system developed and licensed by Channel Mobile.

The system automatically imports a file from Micros’ Opera System to allow for the sending of generic or personalised SMS’s, thereby increasing customer contact and service.

HotelCom will create an open communication channel between the service provider and the guest, providing booking information and also value-add or marketing information to an opt-in list. It will also allow the guest to easily communicate the pros and cons of their stay.

Replies with guest comments can be followed up on and resolved, creating repeat customers and positive word of mouth.

Features

The HotelCom SMS Contact System is a web-based application. It will enable each hotel to connect to our SMS Gateway in order to send out single or bulk SMS messages.

Our SMS Gateway allows for replies and delivery reports to either be routed to email addresses or back into the HotelCom SMS system. These messages are linked to the original message.

The HotelCom SMS System includes different messaging options, namely:

Automated SMS Messaging: Data is extracted from Opera and FTP’d to our SMS gateway for processing and delivery to handset. Automated messaging includes:

AM and PM Arrival SMS
AM and PM Departure SMS
Reservation Confirmation SMS – Multiple extracts can be accommodated in a single day
Weather SMS – Sent to all in-house guests with the following days weather forecast

Manual SMS Messaging: An in-house guest list is extracted from Opera and FTP’d to our SMS gateway. We store the mobile numbers on the HotelCom dashboard. This allows an employee to log into the web based system and manually send the SMS’s to the guests. The manual SMS includes:

Mid-Morning SMS
Lunch SMS

The Manual SMS Messages (Mid-Morning and Lunch) provide the Marketing Plan Coordinator or General Manager with an easily accessible in-house guest list. This allows them to send a variety of messages to guests. This could include dinner specials for the hotel restaurant, hotel events, service notifications etc.

Marketing SMS: HotelCom has a built in Marketing Module which allows Marketing Plan Coordinators or General Managers to either send Ad Hoc or Bulk SMS’s to their guests or marketing databases.

Ad Hoc SMS: You are able to log into the HotelCom SMS system and seamlessly create an ad hoc SMS which is sent to single or multiple recipients.
Bulk SMS: Databases can be imported into the system in three different formats .CSV, ,xls, .xlsx. This allows Marketing Plan Coordinators or General Managers to upload databases of guests and send Marketing SMS’s in bulk from a single interface.

HotelCom carries a multitude of further features which are included in the standard product offering:

Automated Opt Out: Opt Out Keywords can be created against a hotel account on HotelCom. When a guest replies with the configured opt out text the system will automatically unsubscribe them from receiving future SMS’s from the hotel.
Global Opt Out: The automated opt out can be configured from a Head Office level for a group of hotels. Therefore, if a guest opts out of receiving SMS’s from an individual hotel they can be opted out from the entire group.
Opt Out Text: Specific Opt Out text can be created and automatically appended to all outbound SMS’s from the HotelCom system. This ensures that all message sent from a hotel comply with legislation and communication acts. This can be implemented at a hotel or group level.
SMS Block Times: Specific block times can be created during weekdays and weekends. This allows HotelCom to block all outbound SMS traffic during the prescribed times, thereby ensuring that guests do not receiving SMS’s after hours. The Block time feature can be configured at a hotel or group level.
Reporting: Full reporting functionality is included within HotelCom. You are able to generate and export reports across a variety of variables and timeframes.
Replies: Guest replies are routed to an email address and back into HotelCom’s reporting service. This allows a hotel to specify an individual within their organisation to be responsible for handling guest feedback. All replies on outbound SMS’s are routed to the specific individual. This allows the hotel to rapidly respond to positive or negative feedback and maintain brand loyalty.
Address Book: The Address Book feature allows hotels to segment their internal departments and guests into specific categories or folders. Staff and Guest data can be imported and stored within the address book. The hotel can then send Ad Hoc and Bulk SMS to specific categories or individuals from within the address book.
Personalisation of SMS: SMS’s can be merged with the external data from Opera or from imported databases. Data from the external source (First Name, Last Name, Room Number etc) can be included in the SMS body. This allows you to personalise SMS’s with data such as guest names.
SMS Templates: You are able to create a SMS message as a template from within the system. When creating an Ad Hoc or Bulk SMS campaign the template can be selected. This saves you the time of retyping message bodies on a continued basis.

Premium Rate SMS

Sat, 01 Jan 2000 00:00:00 +0200

Channel Mobile, being a Premium Rate SMS merchant, is able to offer a wide price band of Premium Rate SMS (PRSMS) numbers across South African mobile phone networks.

A Premium Rate SMS is a 5 digit shortcode (e.g. 31941) that carries a standard or premium rate charged to the sender of the SMS. Using a shortcode allows businesses the functionality to generate sales leads, compile databases and create revenue.

There are two types of shortcodes:

Dedicated

A dedicated shortcode is a unique number that belongs to one business only. E.g. Channel Mobile own the shortcode 31941

Shared

A shared shortcode is a number that is shared between several businesses that use a specific and unique keyword to identify which business/campaign each PRSMS belongs to. E.g. Channel Mobile use the keyword “info” and PhoneFuel use the keyword “prepaid airtime”, both keywords operate on the shortcode 33369.

After your client/lead sends a premium rate SMS to the shortcode, a reply or Message Terminating (M.T) SMS is immediately pushed back to the sender confirming that his/her mobile originating (M.O.) SMS was successful and received.

The revenue generated by the SMS is shared between the Network Operator (Cell C, MTN and Vodacom) and the WASP (Channel Mobile in this case). In turn we pass on a majority of the revenue share we receive, back to our customers after the MT message deductions.

It must be noted that the M.T. SMS can include additional product information or advertising for your business or service.

PRSMS can be used in the following ways:

Premium SMS competitions.
Create sales leads: The shortcode can be appended to marketing material, thereby allowing customers to send SMS requests for more info creating a two way communication channel.
Polls and Surveys: customers respond or opt in to polls and surveys with their comments.
Voting: most common are TV or radio campaigns where voters can respond by SMS’ing their choice to the shortcode.
Creating an opt in database

The Short Code rate bands are as follows:

0.50c
R1
R1.50
R2.00
R3.00
R5.00
R7.50
R10.00
R15.00
R20.00
R25.00
R30.00

Once a campaign has been launched Channel Mobile will provide a monthly billing schedule with the following information.

Summary report on total entries recieved, segmented by Network Operator
Mobile number of M.O. SMS
Date and time SMS was sent
Response date and time of the M.T. SMS
Text contained in the SMS

As full member of the Wireless Application Services Providers Association (WASPA) Channel Mobile ensure that all campaigns adhere to the industry advertising guidelines
