Our Service

SMS Relief is a data management company raising funds for National Registered Charities and Schools.  Our opt-in database of Mobile Phone Users is available to advertisers for the use of Short Message Service (SMS) text advertising, email advertising and postal mailing.  In exchange for receiving advertisements on their mobile phones, our members will receive a payment for each message received, in addition to an equal amount being donated on their behalf to one of our Charity / School Partners.  At their own discretion, if any member chooses, we can also donate their payment to the charity / School too.    

The advertisements sent may vary from simple promotional advertisements, discounts, announcements or polls and surveys.

The Charity or School to which you support, will be able to send you one email per week. And you will receive monthly updates from SMS Relief with special offers, new services and other information.
