i have this mod installed for 6/7 days now and it works perfect to prevent fraid payments for paid subscriptions.

Before i got atleast 1 claim each 2 days saying the payment wasent authorize and 9 of the 10 times i lost the money and some times need to pay a fee.

I have this mod installed for 6/7 days now and got 0 claims.

So i want to thank onverifiy for this great mod and that they share there mod for free.
I asked other sites with do the same as onverify before but they all asked $200-$300 to make this plugin.

So i can realy recommend this to forums that have paid subscriptions and accept paypal.

1) is it available for SMS text messaging ?
2) when is it available for vB 4.0x or higher ?

[TNCclubman]

isnt there websites online where you can send phones free text messages? you can send the code that way and we wont get charged any long distance fees. Not even text costs as you can send a text to a persons email phone number ie 4164433243@rogers.com as an even 2nd option...

[onverify]

These are in our list, will update asap

That's not 100% right. You may use email gateways of several providers, which forwards the email to the end user. But this is not reliable way as:

1. Some users switch it off
2. This method does not use number portability (so if number is ported, your email sms wont arrive)
3. It's not worldwide

You do not have this mod for vb 4.1.1?

Does not look like it would work for me anyway...

I am looking just to verify member accounts right now, not just
paid subscriptions..maybe one day...not everyone has paid subscriptions, but
every forum has members, and they should be verified to keep scammers/spammers away....
