Smart Gold

Decode is a tool that simplifies the act of entering complex codes on a mobile phone. The system allows cameraphones to scan specially printed codes, called mobile codes or mcodes. These codes can represent web URLs, phone numbers or instructions that include keywords and an access number. All you need to do is scan and send! No more typing.

• How do I use it?

  It’s so easy to use! Start up the Decode application and point the scanner towards the mcode you would like to scan. Position the mcode in the center of the screen. Once you’ve scanned the mcode and sent it, it will trigger the transaction and you’re all set!

• What do the mcodes look like?

  It’s a series of squares that are randomly generated to form a code that contains information, such as URLs or contact information, such as a business card.

• Where can I find the mcodes?

  You can find mcodes everywhere! They can be printed on newspapers, magazines, product labels, signs, web banner ads, business cards and even scratch cards!

• How much will it cost to download? To use?

  Currently, the application download is free. When you scan an mcode and trigger an application, the charges will be based on the transaction type. For example:
  
  Polytone Download: P15.00
  
  Mobile Payment Transaction: P1.00
  
  We will be giving away free content during the launch, including free polytones, mms wallpapers and logos.
