There are lot's of hard working coders here, they've put into their mods as much as you have with this product, without cost to us. That's what in my opinion, is what this site is about, correct me if I'm wrong.
I have no problem paying for a product, as I have in the past and will in the future, but this is ridiculous.
I think you have a wonderful product with fantastic opportunity, I suggest you approach this differently.

I've presented a product that is fully functional in itself, for the purposes described in the modification description (sending text message notifications to forum users with specified cell phone companies, on specific forum actions, free of any charge except that which may or may not be assessed by the cell phone provider depending on the user's contract with the company), without any charge to use the modification itself.
This is in complete accordance with
vBulletin.org's Paid Modification Rules:
Quote:
3.Lite versions of commercial modifications are permitted to be released here as long as:
A.It is a working modification
B.It is not time limited in any way
C.It is completely free to the user
D.It is stand alone and completely separate to the full version
E.A single link back to the commercial version is permitted, as long as no pricing or promotional language is used in the link or embedded into the lite version.

If I choose to provide a more advanced modification with full support for a fee, I have that ability. Others choose to put the work into their modifications (which may or may not be more advanced) at no cost. That's their choice. If you don't like that I'm able to charge a fee for my work, or you find the paid version to be too expensive or ridiculous, it is also your choice and ability to not use either the paid modification or the free modification.
The free modification adds real features and functions to a forum. If you don't find that useful, sounds like you've gotten a little too used to receiving all these modifications for free. And with that, I bid you good day and thank you for your interest in my modification.
