Dialog offers Sri Lanka’s first SMS voucher

Didn’t have the time to buy a gift voucher for a special occasion? Gone are the days when you worried over that missed opportunity. A solution tailor-made for just such an occasion is near at hand. Sri Lanka’s leading telecommunication services provider Dialog Axiata PLC has launched the first SMS (Short Message Service) voucher in Sri Lanka which allows its subscribers to SMS a wide variety of gift vouchers to friends and loved ones while on the go.  

Gift SMS vouchers are the perfect solution for today’s shoppers. Why? They are instant, convenient, fun, secure and not to mention environment friendly and since most people carry their mobile on them where ever they go, they also have their voucher in their inbox, resulting in a higher redemption rate.

There is nothing worse than going shopping and remembering that gift voucher stuffed in the back of the drawer. Using SMS gift vouchers from Dialog, you can simply go into your inbox and present the voucher in the participating businesses store or enter the reference on an online shopping cart or even forward the purchased SMS voucher as a surprise gift to friends and family.

Potential users can view the vouchers available on the system by dialling #289#. Once the vouchers are purchased, the customer will receive a SMS voucher with the serial and PIN number, which on submission of the PIN number, customer can redeem the voucher and collect the goods.

Vouchers can be purchased by adding the transaction value to the Dialog post paid bill or deducted from credit on prepaid connection or even using Star Points. It’s as simple and convenient as that!
