MMS: MMS Used For TV Palm Readings

Source: 160character.org

Camera phones are being used in the UK for TV viewers to send in photos of their palms by MMS for reading by psychics in the studio. Users take a photo of their palm and then send the photo-message to 07704 632 634. It is then read by one of TV Commerce’s expert readers and a reading sent back to the user via SMS. The service is live 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The photo-messaging service is also being used to send in old photos for clairvoyants to use.

The programme is currently being broadcast on channel SKY 694 and follows successful studio trials. Users pay £4.50 a time for the service. Digital messaging software group Requestec helped develop the system and takes a revenue share leaving TV Commerce with £1.70 per call net of all costs.

Viewers can also send in questions to the studio clairvoyants by SMS with answers received back by text message without needing to be in front of the TV.

TV Commerce Holdings - owner of The Advert Channel and Your Destiny TV - floated on AIM in February this year.

Vince Stanzione, Chief Executive, TV Commerce said that they "are also testing photo-messaging technology for a new dating show, Date with Destiny, where users seeking new relationships can send in photos and messages direct to live studio hosts." TV Commerce plan further channels centred on betting later in the year.
