Why text messaging for TextBooks is a good idea
We joke about it on our web site TextBack.net . Humorously naming a fake condition ”Chronic ISBN Transposition”. As if it were some kind of disease. Seriously though you can write down the wrong number or switch number positions which is transposing. Therefore you have the wrong ISBN and will have to go back to the campus book store.
But isn’t it better to text us the ISBN to confirm you have the right textbook when you go online? I mean after you send us a text message we can send you online pricing and the title. But even more importantly we store the book in a mobile cart you can access later on TextBack.net. Then you click to Purchase from Amazon Market Place.
If you happen to send the wrong ISBN or one that doesn’t exist. We will be able to tell you right then. We show you what ISBN was sent to us. You send another SMS and get the correct textbook placed into your mobile cart.
We have made it very simple to do this while at the bookstore. Simply send keyword ISBN followed by the 10 digit ISBN number to 4INFO (44636).
The system is good for any book not just textbooks. Just remember 4INFO and ISBN.
Cheers!
