TruMobile™ SMS

What is TruMobile™ SMS?

Picture your traditional barcode. As we know, each bar and its varying width and space represents the unique underlying data. Now, rather than representing that data as graphical bars, what if we replaced those bars with a unique string of alpha numeric characters? Any device that could display alpha numeric characters would instantly become compatible. Here is the basis of TruMobile SMS. If your handset can receive text messages and display standard letters and numbers it is TruMobile SMS compatible. At last count that was approx 99% of handsets.

Our unique algorithm encrypts and secures the scannable data as a string of up to 42 alpha numeric characters which can be read by any Sissit Kiosk, Desktop unit or partner equipment featuring Sissit’s QikScan Universal scanner. With a standard SMS including up to 160 characters, the remain characters can be used to display any content you desire from branding to practical flight details, movie name and starting time and more.
