Sembuse Shortcodes Usage – Wahi Kuwahi Match Service

by Idd Salim on Jul.24, 2009, under Sembuse, Symbiotic

Starting today, we will be experimenting on a ShortCode model for Sembuse.

Mrs Milas Omit has contracted us to design for her a CocaCola Wahi-Kuwahi Campaign as a test-case to prove that our short-code model works. We accepted the challenge. And The service was born. (She fully owns the Idea and the solution. We merely designed and implemented it.)

Here is how to use it:

  • Go to Sembuse Mobile and register or login. Or SMS the word FREEDOM to 2346 to get a direct link.
  • Go to ‘Your Texts’.
  • On the message type, select Sembuse – 1000 xters.
  • On the To : Type 411. (411 is our internal info-service shortcode and not the SafCom 411). This Message will not be charged.
  • On the Message type what you have. If you have WAHI 1000, type WAHI 1000. Not what you want!!
  • In the above case, If a Kuwahi of 1000 is found, both users will be alerted via the Sembuse Inbox (under your texts) and will be advised on the hook up.

Cute huh?

Come on!! What did you expect from us at Symbiotic?

Real Solutions for real people baba!!

Now it gets better: If you have a service that might need a shortcode e.g. ringtones, matching, helplines, horoscopes etc… Holla!

We will rent out a dedicated short-code to you and you will run your own service e.g. 4412, 1234, 9999 … whatever you want!  Make money via Sembuse, starting today!

Kazi Kwako.
