From the end of November, E-Money (Off-handset purchases, or OHP) services on dedicated shortcodes are no longer restricted to 78xxx/79xxx. If you want to use a shared shortcode, it still has to be in the 78xxx/79xxx range - however for dedicated you can now use other numbers outside the 78xxx/79xxx range (providing to make it clear on the customer care forms). I get the feeling that 87121 is not a dedicated shortcode, based on the fact it's a keyword based service, and having Google'd it I see other people advertising the same number. ICSTIS and Three say it's registered to Opera Telecom. Hope that sort of answers your question. Right, found the info.

However recently (and I can't for the life of me find the exact details), it was relaxed. As far as I remember, when applying for a new shortcode from any range you can advise that it is for emoney services. Again from memory, this doesn't apply to existing shortcodes outside of the 78xxx/79xxx range, just new shortcodes. Someone should be able to give you the full info..

Grabacondom.com has been closed temporarilly because they were not runing on the micropayment shortcode. Do txtdomz have a special arrangement to use that number because of advertising etc or are they indeed running illegally on it which I highly doubt is the case. :) Just wondered.
