Reaching Audiences Through Mobile SMS Messaging Creating An Creating an Awareness Campaign Toolkit 6: Reaching Audiences Through Mobile SMS Messaging This is hepatitis... World Hepatitis Day: July 28 2012 www.worldhepatitisday.info This is hepatitis... Toolkit 6: Reaching Audiences Through Mobile SMS Messaging This toolkit will help you plan an SMS strategy to support your awareness campaigns around World Hepatitis Day and throughout the year. It includes: • Section A - An overview of SMS for mobile devices • Section B - SMS campaign strategy for World Hepatitis Day 2012 • Section C - How to set up an SMS campaign in your country • Section D - An example letter from the World Hepatitis Alliance that you can send to encourage partnerships with local network operators • Appendix 1 - Mobile Marketing Association’s global code of conduct • Appendix 2 - List of Mobile Network Operators in Target Countries This is hepatitis... Section A - An overview of SMS for mobile devices SMS, or Short Message Service, is a text messaging service component of phone, web or mobile communication systems. A text message is usually limited to 160 characters (including spaces) per message, although larger content can be sent using multiple messages. SMS text messaging can be a key resource in reaching out to patients and in raising awareness amongst the general public about viral hepatitis. In developing nations this is even more important as access to other communications channels such as the internet and SMART phones is limited. The World Hepatitis Alliance is, therefore, encouraging participating members, particularly those in developing regions, to undertake SMS text messaging campaigns to support the awareness campaigns for World Hepatitis Day in 2012 and beyond. Important considerations for SMS • SMS is a best-effort service - around 5% of SMS messages are not delivered • Messages passing between Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), particularly internationally, are the most likely to disappear; therefore SMS campaigns should be set up nationally • Delivery reports, which can tell you whether the message has been received at the recipient’s handset, are sometimes available • SMSs are sent in a plain text format and may also be stored in plain text in the operator’s records. Therefore, as with all other communications, no sensitive information should be included in SMS messages, as these will be stored by the operators Section B - SMS campaign strategy for World Hepatitis Day 2012 This toolkit provides guidance on setting up bulk messaging SMS campaigns in your country. This involves a single message being sent to a group of users (much like a group email). This strategy will reach the most number of people in one go and is usually the most cost effective. In 2012 the World Hepatitis Alliance will be focusing on 8 target countries to set up SMS bulk messaging campaigns. These countries are: • Brazil • China • Ghana This is hepatitis... • India • Kenya • Nigeria • Peru • South Africa The Alliance will approach the largest MNOs covering each of these countries. This approach will consist of exploring Corporate Social Responsibility channels with the MNOs so that bulk messaging can be coordinated for free or at a charitable rate per SMS message sent. Appendix 2 of this toolkit details all of the MNOs in each of the target regions and additionally provides details of those MNOs located in Peru, India, and China where Alliance members may like to investigate further campaigns. Those Operators that are highlighted in yellow will be contacted directly by the World Hepatitis Alliance, so please let the Alliance know if you have any existing contacts at these MNO companies. As there are many MNOs operating in each country, local Alliance members are encouraged to contact the other MNOs contained in each list (those not highlighted in yellow). This toolkit provides step by step guidance on approaching other, smaller, MNOs along with tools to encourage MNOs to seek CSR and ‘in kind’ donations. In other countries not being targeted by the Alliance in 2012, this toolkit offers guidance on how to setup SMS bulk messaging campaigns. Section C - How to set up a bulk messaging SMS The information below provides a simple step by step overview of how to set up a bulk messaging SMS campaign: 1) There are no reputable suppliers of SMS database lists in many regions of the world. Therefore, you should first contact several MNOs. Without collaboration from the local network operator it will be extremely difficult to set up a bulk message SMS campaign. Please note that not all network operators are able to load and send messages to their databases so you may need to speak to several MNOs to find one that has this capability. 2) Ask whether the provider has opt-in lists of mobile phone numbers so that they can coordinate a bulk SMS service on your behalf. Opt-in lists are databases where subscribers have said they are happy to receive SMSs and notifications from the Network Operator and / or third parties. It is important to check this is a legitimate opt-in list to ensure best practice. MNOs have opt-in lists to update their subscribers on the existing services and new services that they provide. 3) Next you need to check whether the MNO can distribute the single message to recipients at a lower cost or for free as part of their work with non-profit organisations (See World Hepatitis Alliance letter in Section D below). A charitable rate is usually around 50% lower than the standard price per SMS message sent but will vary between different MNOs. This is hepatitis... 4) Some MNOs will send messages to their subscribers to alert them to new services or to alert them to remaining credit on their cell phone. This is an additional opportunity to include messaging for World Hepatitis Day if they are not happy to send a dedicated bulk message on your behalf. 5) After you have agreed a rate that is within your local activity budget you will need to agree the copy for the text message that will be distributed – suggestions provided below 6) The SMS message should be agreed to be sent to all recipients in the opt-in list on World Hepatitis Day, 28th July, between 9am and 6pm local time 7) It is strongly recommended that you try to agree with the provider that the message appears to have been sent by either 1) the Network Operator themselves (this is the most recommended approach) or 2) from yourselves as the local Alliance member. This will encourage recipients to open the SMS text message and not think it is spam. 8) Remember to offer the MNO the opportunity to feature their logo on the WHD posters, websites, and any other campaign materials you are developing. This will help negotiating the best possible rate. 9) Remember to ask the MNO to track the number of messages they send. Additionally the number of recipients (as not all messages are received) should be asked for. This will help evaluate the success of the activity. Please note If you are experiencing difficulties in setting up an SMS campaign or in identifying a Mobile Network Operator (MNO) in your country who can send out bulk messages, our global communications agency Red Door Communications is able to provide further assistance. Requests from individual countries can be made to [email protected] or by calling +44 208 392 8040. Please note that this research will incur a pass through cost of approximately £360 (or equivalent) for each country. Examples of information to communicate via SMS: It is estimated that 1 in 3 people globally have been exposed to viral hepatitis. Know it. Confront it. <Get tested.> Call <local helpline> for advice You can’t ignore it. Hepatitis does not discriminate against age, race, or background. Know it. Confront it. <Get vaccinated>. Call <local helpline> for advice Today is World Hepatitis Day - over 1 million people a year die from viral hepatitis. Know it. Confront it. <Get tested.> Call <local helpline> for advice Hepatitis is closer than you think, affecting 1 in 12 people worldwide. With better awareness we can beat it. Call <local helpline> for advice This is hepatitis... Section D - An example letter from the World Hepatitis Alliance that you can send to encourage partnerships with local network operators <insert local Alliance member logo> Dear Sir / Madam, We <insert local Alliance member>, as a member of the World Hepatitis Alliance in <insert country> are working alongside the World Health Organisation (WHO) as a partner in raising awareness about viral hepatitis, which affects 1 in 12 people worldwide. We are writing to you to seek your support in helping us to reach our ambition of raising awareness and improving prevention, care, support and access to treatment. 500 million people around the world are currently infected with chronic hepatitis B or C, and one in three of the entire global population has been exposed to one or both viruses. Between them, Hepatitis B and C kill more than a million people every year, yet awareness is almost non-existent. So concerned were the 193 members States of WHO about this lack of awareness that they made World Hepatitis Day only the fourth official WHO disease specific health day; the other days are for tuberculosis, malaria, and AIDS. The first such World Hepatitis Day was held on 28th July 2011. We would like to ask for your support in working with us to raise awareness on World Hepatitis Day this year, July 28th 2012, by asking to partner with you to send the following message to all of your subscribers who are prepared to receive unsolicited text messages: <local Alliance member to insert SMS message> If possible, we would also like to encourage that this SMS is seen to have been sent by yourselves, the Mobile Network Operator, or, failing that, from us the <insert local Alliance member> or alternatively the World Hepatitis Alliance, to encourage people to open the SMS and read the content of the text message.

  • (MVNO's) Are Disrupting the US Enterprise Wireless Market
    How Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNO's) Acceptance are Becoming Disrupting Widespread the U.S. July 2019 Enterprise Wireless Market By David Roberts CEO - Teligistics $12+ Billion in Experience The Power of Great Advice. White Paper Series Copyright 2019 - Teligistics, Inc. - All Rights Reserved What is an MVNO? A mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) or virtual network operator, is a wireless communications service provider that does not own the wireless network infrastructure or FCC spectrum licenses over which it provides services to its customers. An MVNO enters into a business agreement with a mobile network operator to obtain bulk access to network services at wholesale rates, then sets retail prices independently. An MVNO may use its own customer service, billing support systems, marketing, and sales personnel, or it could employ the services of a mobile virtual network enabler which typically adds robust value-added services and technologies not typically available to the wireless carrier (MNO). Some of the larger and well known MVNO's primarily serving retail/personal markets: History of the MVNO Mobile Virtual Network Operators were originally started in Europe's highly-fractured wireless market in the 1990's. With the advent of better technologies (2G Networks plus), frequencies and available spectrums as well as a more relaxed regulatory environment sped their growth. Primarily focused in targeted consumer markets, even the MNO's (Mobile Network Operators) who owned the wireless network infrastructures saw the niche branding opportunities as many launched their own MVNO subsidiaries to serve specific markets. The proliferation of the European models soon made their way to the United States and by 2008 had reached 15.6 million subscribers and over 40 MNVO's.

  • Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) Basics: What Is Behind This Mobile Business Trend
    Viewpoint Telecom Practice October 2008 Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) basics: What is behind this mobile business trend MVNOs bring the opportunity to telecom and non-telecom companies to participate in the mobile sector. New players in the MVNO arena can extract more value from their current customers by adding a new revenue stream and/or strengthening their current value proposition. This article intends to summarize the key concepts of the MVNO opportunity to new players of the mobile sector. Carlos Camarán and Diego De Miguel Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) basics What is a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO)? An MVNO is a business model that emerges when the traditional mobile value chain is ruptured. Therefore, new players can participate in the mobile value chain and extract value leveraging their valuable assets. The traditional mobile value chain can be separated into two main areas: 1.- Radio access network that is exclusively exploited by mobile network operators, moreover it requires a license granted by the regulatory authority to use the spectrum, and 2.- the rest of the elements required to deliver the service to the customers. As it is shown in the exhibit 1, this second area of the value chain includes: the operation of the core network (e.g. switching, backbone, transportation, etc.), the operation of the value added services (e.g. SMS, voicemail, etc.), the operation of the back office process to support business process (e.g. subscriber registration, handset and SIM logistic, billing, balance check, top-up network, customer care, etc.), the definition of a mobile value offer and the final delivery of the products and services to the client through the distribution channel.

  • An Introduction to Telecommunications Policy in Canada
    Australian Journal of Telecommunications and the Digital Economy An Introduction to Telecommunications Policy in Canada Catherine Middleton Ryerson University Abstract: This paper provides an introduction to telecommunications policy in Canada, outlining the regulatory and legislative environment governing the provision of telecommunications services in the country and describing basic characteristics of its retail telecommunications services market. It was written in 2017 as one in a series of papers describing international telecommunications policies and markets published in the Australian Journal of Telecommunications and the Digital Economy in 2016 and 2017. Drawing primarily from regulatory and policy documents, the discussion focuses on broad trends, central policy objectives and major players involved in building and operating Canada’s telecommunications infrastructure. The paper is descriptive rather than evaluative, and does not offer an exhaustive discussion of all telecommunications policy issues, markets and providers in Canada. Keywords: Policy; Telecommunications; Canada Introduction In 2017, Canada’s population was estimated to be above 36.5 million people (Statistics Canada, 2017). Although Canada has a large land mass and low population density, more than 80% of Canadiansi live in urban areas, the majority in close proximity to the border with the United States (Central Intelligence Agency, 2017). Telecommunications services are easily accessible for most, but not all, Canadians. Those in lower-income brackets and/or living in rural and remote areas are less likely to subscribe to telecommunications services than people in urban areas or with higher incomes, and high-quality mobile and Internet services are simply not available in some parts of the country (CRTC, 2017a). On average, Canadian households spend more than $200 (CAD)ii per month to access mobile phone, Internet, television and landline phone services (2015 data, cited in CRTC, 2017a).

  • On the Role of Infrastructure Sharing for Mobile Network Operators in Emerging Markets
    On the Role of Infrastructure sharing for Mobile Network Operators in Emerging Markets Djamal-Eddine Meddour1, Tinku Rasheed2 and Yvon Gourhant1 1France Telecom-Orange R&D, Lannion, France 2CREATE-NET Research Center, Trento, Italy Abstract The traditional model of single ownership of all the physical network elements and network layers by mobile network operators is beginning to be challenged. This has been attributed to the rapid and complex technology migration compounded with rigorous regulatory requirements and ever increasing capital expenditures. These trends, combined together with the increasing competition, rapid commoditization of telecommunication equipments and rising separation of network and service provisioning are pushing the operators to adopt multiple strategies, with network infrastructure sharing in the core and radio access networks emerging as a more radical mechanism to substantially and sustainably improve network costs. Through infrastructure sharing, developing countries and other emerging economies can harness the technological, market and regulatory developments that have fostered affordable access to mobile and broadband services. Similarly, the network operators entering or consolidating in the emerging markets can aim for substantial savings on capital and operating expenses. The present paper aims to investigate the current technological solutions and regulatory and the technical-economical dimensions in connection with the sharing of mobile telecommunication networks in emerging countries. We analyze the estimated savings on capital and operating expenses, while assessing the technical constraints, applicability and benefits of the network sharing solutions in an emerging market context. Keywords : - Infrastructure sharing, mobile network sharing, RAN sharing, passive sharing, active sharing, network management, emerging markets. 1. Introduction Mobile telecommunication services have shown impressive uptake in the past decade.
