I did a "text to give" thing a few weeks back, and got my direct debit conversion phone call the very next day at 4.30pm. <br /><br />And guess what? The script for the conversion call had *nothing at all* to do with the text to give ask. And I mean nothing at all. <br /><br />So maybe this isn't a comment about SMS. Maybe it's a comment about how charities integrate SMS into their programme.<br /><br />Incidentally, the charity in question clearly hadn't even matched my mobile number against their database before putting my number out for calling -- the caller didn't know my name, even though I've provided my mobile number on an online form to the same charity, along with my name & address.<br /><br />Oh dear.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
