As promised - the OTHER NEW Quick Customiser

Monday, February 13th, 2006

Hi,

“NEW: Product Help & Info FAQ customisable website”

Help your customers get the answers they need before they
buy.

The third of many …

“Product Help Quick Customiser”

We have just this second launched the brand new, fully
customisable, Product Help & Info FAQ (Frequently Asked
Questions) Quick Customiser website.

We input the questions and answers that we get asked from
customers.

You customise the look and feel of your site.

Go now and login at
http://www.product-help.info/admin/

Make some changes - customise it to how you want …

Then click “Go to site” in the top left corner.

Why is this GOOD FOR YOU?

You can use this site to link to from your own separate
website. For example, imagine if you have your own mobile
phone insurance website
(eg www.mobile-phone-insurance-uk.com/)

On this example page at www.mobile-phone-insurance-uk.com/) you will see red text “Need help? …” - Click this and you
will go to the FAQ.

I have changed some of the colours on this FAQ site to match
the mobile phone insurance site, and I have changed the images.

As a customer if you had any question about the mobile phone
insurance you can quickly and easily find this and get your
question answered.

So now you can use this site to help your customers get their
questions quickly answered …

That’s all for now.

NEW Ringtones order numbers

Tuesday, February 7th, 2006

In this update:

1. NEW Ringtones shortcodes
2. Why this is GREAT NEWS for YOU …
3. Java Games Quick Customiser update - below …

1. NEW Ringtones shortcodes

The new ringtones shortcodes and premium rate number are now released.

Please change all your marketing over to these new numbers as soon as possible.

* SMS orders: Shortcode 80808
* IVR (premium rate) orders: 0906 661 0041

The 2U ringtones sites have ALREADY been changed to use these numbers …

(If you are not yet a Ringtones Reseller login at http://users.2u.co.uk)

The old numbers will continue to be used for a cross-over period until the end of February, and then phased out. The stats for the old numbers will then not show on your site and no commission will be paid on the old numbers after this phase-out.

If you have any other marketing for ringtones, you need to now change them to use these new numbers.

Do you have leaflets printed for ringtones? Do you have your own ringtones website (other than the 2U-provided sites)?

You need to change to these new numbers now.

2. Why this is GREAT NEWS for YOU …

This is great news for you because …

  1. The stats in your login area at http://users.2u.co.uk
    are DETAILED. For example I just did a test SMS order
    (ordering by text message). In my login I can now see
    the following …”SMS Polyphonic Ringtone: Kaiser Chiefs Everyday I Love
    You Less And Less”
  2. So this new system tells you …

    - How they ordered (SMS or IVR)
    - What type of product (Polyphonic, Java games etc)
    - Name of the product - artist and title

  3. The stats are fully real time. There will always be some
    delay because it will always depend on the networks passing
    information through to us, but as soon as we have it, it
    shows in your stats.
  4. Transparency of stats. This one needs some explaining
    because you need to understand how the ringtones ordering
    process works …IVR: This is more straight forward - the customer picks up
    the phone, dials 0906 661 0041, gets charged £1.50 per minute
    and follows the order instructions on the phone to complete
    the order.

    When the order is completed, the order comes through with
    a status of “Completed”, because the customer has paid.
    This goes straight into your stats as “Completed”.

    SMS: The customer sends a text message (SMS) to 80808.
    The message of the SMS tells our system what the customer
    wants and who the affiliate is (by the first 4 numbers in
    the message).

    The customer then gets 3 messages back to their phone, each
    billing them £1.50 (this is how they pay for the product).
    We then get confirmation for each of these 3 x £1.50 text
    messages that they have been paid for.

    As such this is a 2 stage process …

    1. Customer texts their order to us, then
    2. Payment confirmation: We get 3 confirmations at £1.50
      This is reflected in your new stats system. You have
      greater transparency in seeing this happen.

    If there is a delay (usually due to the network’s system)
    between the first part and the second part, you will see
    a new order appear in your stats marked as “Pending”
    (similar to the phones orders when they come in).

    Then, as and when the payment confirmations come in (step 2)
    you see the order change from “Pending” to “Completed”.
    Once it is completed it means the customer has paid for it,
    and therefore you get your commission!

These are just 3 reasons why this change is GREAT NEWS for YOU.
There are other reasons to do with the transfer of data, but
they are quite technical. These are the 3 key reasons why
this will help you get a better understanding of your 2U
Ringtones Reseller business - so you can build and grow your
Ringtones business!

If you are not yet subscribed as a 2U Ringtones Reseller you
can do so now at http://users.2u.co.uk

3. Java Games Quick Customiser update …

Customiser tomorrow, pending final checks and tests.

Quick Customiser. You will find this Ringtones Quick
Customiser at
