sms background

science fiction, fantasy and horror fans are notorious for keeping 'ahead of the game' when it comes to the latest technology and advances, this is by no means different when it comes to mobile phones.

uk conventions currently operates scifisms - the uk's first science fiction, fantasy and horror sms content service and various advertising opportunities are available.

as with any advertising it is important not to simply spam potential customers, this is why we only offer our subscription service as a base to advertise to, this ensures targeted advertising and a list of users who have signed up to receive sci-fi news and offers.
