SMSkoodi

SMSkoodi is a Finnish company that provides services related to mobile messaging and payment solutions. Founded in 2003, the company has established itself as a significant player in the Finnish market for premium SMS services and mobile payment gateways. SMSkoodi offers a range of products and services for businesses looking to monetize their content or services through mobile channels. This includes solutions for running contests, selling digital goods, and facilitating microtransactions via SMS.

The company operates by providing unique premium rate SMS numbers that businesses can advertise to their customers. When a customer sends an SMS to one of these numbers, they are charged a predetermined amount, and the revenue is then shared between the mobile operator and SMSkoodi, with a portion going to the business client. SMSkoodi handles the technical infrastructure, billing, and customer support for these transactions.

In addition to premium SMS, SMSkoodi also offers mobile payment solutions that allow consumers to make purchases using their phone bills or pre-paid balances. This service is particularly useful for online services, digital content, and event ticketing where a quick and convenient payment method is desired. The company emphasizes security and compliance in its operations, adhering to Finnish regulations governing telecommunications and consumer protection. SMSkoodi continues to adapt its offerings to the evolving mobile landscape, aiming to provide flexible and effective solutions for its business partners.
