Whenever a ringtone or wallpaper is created with Myxer, it is assigned a unique MyxerCode. By default, MyxerCodes are simple numbers like “18302″, though custom MyxerCodes that contain words may also be registered.

Anyone can request the download of any Myxer content by texting its MyxerCode to the MYXER (69937) shortcode. (A “shortcode” is just a 5 digit number that can be used just like a normal phone number for text messaging.)

If the requested content is premium - meaning the artist who created it has set a non-zero price - the requesting phone will be sent a confirmation message that clearly states the purchase price, and requests a “yes” reply to confirm the purchase. Upon receiving the “yes” response, Myxer will deliver the content to the requesting phone, and charge the subscriber’s phone bill once the download is complete.

If the requested content is free, a link to download it will be immediately sent back to the requesting phone without requiring a “yes” confirmation. The subscriber will not be billed for the content (though normal text messaging and bandwidth charges from their carrier may apply).
