The vBulletin Admins temporary suspended the thread while they had a meeting about whether to allow this mod (Because of the commerical nature of it). After several days discussion, they agreed to allow it on the basis of us stating that the service is free to setup, but we take a cut from the transactions, just like paypal do.

There is zero security issue and it is completely secure for your forum.


Other amounts will be enabled in the next few days.

Yes, we will enable this in the next few days.

Questions:
Can I sign up still if I live in Australia?
Yes you can still signup no matter what country you're from, just for the time being, you can only bill customers from the UK.

How will I receive my payments?
Via Paypal for now. Direct bank payments will follow later this year.

How often can I receive payments?
Every 30 days.
Billing Example:
january.....earn revenue
february....earn revenue
march.......earn revenue
april..........recieve januarys payment
may..........recieve februarys payment
june..........recieve marchs payment
july...........recieve aprils payment


Is there a waiting period before I can receive my payments?
The mobile phone operators first pay out 90 days from the end of the month, this is the same for ALL reverse SMS companies out there. After the initial 90 days, you are paid every 30 days. (See above).

If I have it set up to charge the member $6. Does that mean I basically only get $3 in return?
Yes. Is it not us who sets the charges, it is the Mobile Phone companies, such as orange, o2, Virgin, T-Mobile.

How long until other countries can start using this sms service?
Within the next few months.

Will you make it possible for members to be able to pay more then $6?
Per transaction, we currently offer ?1.50 ($3), with ?3 ($6) and ?6 ($12) coming very soon.

The billing periods are either weekly or monthly (Daily and Yearly coming soon)

Billing Examples:
?1.50 ($3) per week
?1.50 ($3) per month
?3 ($6) per week
?3 ($6) per month
?6 ($12) per week
?6 ($12) per month


Any more questions, please ask away...

Hmm... this seems trustworthy and i like the fact that you support it the right way.
Will install in the months to follow (when the new features are up).

Hi

Just installed this and its all looking good.

The 1 problem is i cant change the subscription price. It is stuck at £1.50 and i need it at £6.

Any ideas why this could be?

And if i may add a suggestion - It would be useful to be able to offer different degrees of membership.

Ie. say have the option for a weeks membership, a months membership, a years membership and lifetime membership or something.

Just a suggestion.

Edit - Sorry didnt read the second post properly, It looks like some of these feature will be featured anyway.

Hi gwerzal,

Yes your right, these new feature are coming very soon. Hopefully in the next few days.

wow. great stuff.

<< bookmarked. will be looking into this seriously this weekend (no time right now), but looks great so far. can't wait for other countries!!

just wonderin: works with Italian mobile operators?

any hope will it come to India and 3 months time is quite a long for a payment to be made by paypal ?

will wait and see and get the results then will think of installing ?

Thanks for answering my question mobilebill. I thought it may have been something of this nature. Very glad they decided to let you post it, as there is no 'cost' and it will only help webmasters earn back their investment in the vB software. I think they've done the right thing.

This opens up a new door for us to earn a living from our sites. I live in the UK and while I currently do not have any product to sell access to, I certainly intend to start a new site for this purpose right away.

Thanks I have installed it and it looks the business..:up:

Thanks for the support and warm welcome all. We will endeavor to bring this community great software and support!!

We will be adding new countries as demand grows. If you have a specific requirement to use this plugin for a country other then the UK, please do message us so we can negotiate with our operator partners to launch to different global markets.
