Yes, if you can send and receive SMS text messages.
The usual price of sending a text message to a friend, as charged by your mobile operator. Currently there is no additional charge for the service.
It costs us to send an SMS text to your mobile, but we will recover the costs of this in commission from Amazon if you use the link we provide to visit Amazon and buy the book. The price to you from Amazon is unchanged whichever method you use to access Amazon, however using our link enables us to provide this SMS price check service to you free of charge. Such arrangements are commonplace on the internet and is why you find so many links to Amazon from other websites.
Only if we cannot cover the SMS costs in other ways.
The isbn is the unique number assigned to every book published. It can be found on the barcode which is normally on the back cover of the book. It is a 10 digit number, although the last digit may be an X, it can include spaces or dashes ( - ) these do not need to be included when sending the isbn to us.
This is a sample message "Deep Black - Amazon £5.59, New £3.20, Used £1.99 - 24 hours - 3.19/5 from 27 - www.SMSprice.co.uk". There are a number of parts to the message, each part separated by a dash. In turn the parts are: Book title (maybe truncated if it is too long) - Various Prices - Expected delivery time from Amazon - Average customer review out of 5, the "from 27" indicates the number of reviews making up the average. The various prices are the price to buy it direct from amazon, the lowest new price available, this is either the same as the amazon price or a Marketplace seller, finally the cheapest used price from a Marketplace seller.
We have not included postage in the price quoted, this is because the costs vary depending on the total order, not just the item requested. A single book will cost £2.75 but for each extra book there is an additional £0.59 postage charge. Finally don't forget there is the super saver option on orders over £15.00 direct from Amazon (not the Marketplace), this allows free delivery but you do need to allow a few extra days for delivery.
