Swiftcover.com offers car insurance quotes by text

Tuesday, 12 Sep 2006 15:34
Online insurer Swiftcover.com has launched the UK's first car insurance quote by text service.

Swift Text allows motorists to get an insurance quote direct to their mobile phone in less than five minutes.

The service uses a four-step process - texts are charged at a network's standard rate.

The steps are:
  • Text SWIFT to 61066
    Reply will ask for postcode, number of years no claims discount and date of birth
  • Text back the above info
    Reply asks for car registration number, first name, surname and title
  • Text back the above info
    Reply asks for occupation
  • Text back occupation
    Reply provides quote and quote ID and directs the customer to www.swiftcoverbytext.co.uk where the customer can use their ID to access the quote and buy within minutes.
