Premium Messaging is an option to purchase or subscribe to messaging programs, provided by third party content providers, for premium charges (e.g., charges that are in addition to standard messaging charges). The premium charges for subscriptions recur monthly, while the premium charges for purchases occur only once. Many programs offer both one-time purchases and recurring subscriptions. These programs are initiated through special numbers, which are four, five or six-digit numbers, known as Short Codes. Examples of Premium Messaging programs are: • Interactive voting during TV shows • Purchases of content, such as ringtones, wallpaper or screensavers • Weather alerts, sports score alerts, daily jokes, horoscopes, etc.
