Such codes can be bought these days, with or without the additional SMS gateway services. Most TV shows enter an agreement with the network provider to share the revenue in such special SMSes (it's a form of robbery, but that aside...)....the post processing of the SMS is very simple, it can be done with an automated script in almost any language. This is all very expensive stuff, but.... ....you can do this on a phone. Like you're giving a lecture, and you ask your audience to vote on something by SMS to your phone. The piechart will appear instantly on your phone, and even on the projector. I've actually done all this. ------- -.- 1/f ))) --. ------- ... http://www.algomantra.com
