FAQs

What is MeBox?
MeBox is a patent-pending technology that helps classified ad providers better monetize their business with a potent mobile up-sell.

With MeBox, your sellers pay to add an auto-reply text message to their ad copy. When buyers punch in a code on their phone, the classified ad is sent to their phone as a text message for easy storage and follow-up.

How does MeBox work?
With just a few lines of code, our technology integrates into yours to offer a mobile up-sell at the right time in the ad creation process. We can customize our pages to look like your site.

How much does MeBox cost?
When one of your customers upgrades their ad to include mobile (suggested price of $7), we charge a $2 service fee. There are no other fees and you don’t pay for any text messages. MeBox helps you make a profitable income without risk, headcount or hassle.

How do we deploy MeBox?
We will work with your IT team to implement MeBox into your site. In most cases we just send you some code to put on your site. We also have a portal site that your phone reps use to set up ads for callers. We can usually launch MeBox in 2-4 weeks.

What if we use an outsourced technology like Kaango?
We are compatible with most outsourced technologies for classified ads.

What about text message spam?
A person only receives a text message when they request to have a classified ad sent to their phone so there is no spam.

Do we have to pay for the text messages?
No, we take care of everything after the sale. You don’t pay for any text messages, you only pay $2 when a seller buys.

What if a seller wants to edit their ad?
The seller can change their text ad anytime on our site for free.

With MeBox, your classified readers can have an ad texted instantly to their phone for easy storage, sharing and follow-up.

Your sellers pay you a surcharge to add this capability to their ad.
