How much does your service cost?  Timely Ads is very affordable and is easy to set up.  We at Timely Ads won't sell you a predetermined package instead we work with you to tailor a package that works for you and your needs.  Once you have established a plan there is a charge for your plan and the number of texts you send out.  Purchasing a plan like this means you only pay for what you use.  If for any one month you text less then you will pay less.  Why pay for what you don't use?

Are there strict rules and guidelines for mobile messaging campaigns?  Absolutely, the Mobile Marketing Association (MMA) has developed best practice guidelines for mobile messaging campaigns. 

What is a short code?  All mobile campaigns operate on a common short code that is approved by mobile carriers.  Short codes can be unique or random ranging from 4-6 digit numbers and can be acquired through US Common Short Code Association.

Do I need to obtain a common short code to start mobile messaging?  The answer is NO.  The process takes time, is rather complicated, and requires monthly expenses that are often to expensive for most individual businesses so Timely Ads provides a shared short code environment in which each customer creates and uses unique keywords on the same short code.

This is a limited list of questions.  If you have others please feel free to call or write Timely Ads and we will follow up with you promptly.
