Premium SMS is a medium widely used by both profit and non-profit organisations who wish to provide a service by using the SMS functionality. Whenever an entity applies for a premium SMS number from MCA to be used for fundraising activities or any other commercial activity it is the duty of the content provider (entity) to liaise with all mobile telephony service providers to have an agreement which would allow the customers of that mobile telephony to send SMS to the mentioned numbers. By filling in the following Application Form.

Once received by redtouch fone, an agreement is drafted and forwarded to the listed email address for signing. redtouch fone as every other mobile telephony provider in Malta will split the costs of the SMS by 50% should this be of a commercial nature and 10% should this be for any filantropic purposes. All those filing for a filantropic rate must provide the NGO VO number at application stage. Should the applicant be organising a fund raising activity on behalf of an NGO then a formal letter from the NGO will be required to authorise the entity. redtouch fone charges a setup charge of €12 and a monthly service fee of €6 on any premium SMS service (for every 1-5 numbers). Upon receipt of the signed agreement redtouch fone would require a minimum of 4 working days to provision and conduct several tests on the service.
