Buying MSISDN numbers in the UK

By Ewan on November 19, 2007 in Services

If I want a UK number to receive text messages, who should I be using? The last time I bought MSISDN numbers, I used…

gosh let me try and remember.

ZIM something. Somebody ZIM.

I’ll get it in a moment……. trying to think.

ZIM EPL! That’s it. They had a pretty good amount of gold, silver and bronze numbers and online activation, last time I looked.

I also used FastSMS as well.

Do you have any recommendations for other suppliers of UK MSISDN numbers?

Yep… we are now selling many MMS activated MSISDNs – forwarding images, video and audio to email or via HTTP POST to webservers. Works very well for multimedia blogging and public sector (councils etc).
