Whats the catch? Why's it Free to setup? Because we work like Paypal.......You can charge your forum members either ?1.50, ?3.00, ?6.00 per week or per month and Mobilebill takes a small cut of this revenue, which means, setup is free! and no monthly fee that you pay out of your own pocket! As you can see, YOU get the biggest cut of the payment, with the mobile phone operators taking their costs and Mobilebill taking the least amount of the revenue share. We have one of the best payout rates in the business! How does it work? You may have some audio, video, tutorials, photos, litterature or simply a private area of your forum that you can offer to your members as an additional bonus for them signing up as a VIP Member. Because they will be upgraded to a VIP usergroup, you can give that usergroup extra privileges such as bigger private message capacity, different colour user titles, bigger avator/profile pictures, you could remove advertising banners just for that usergroup.... Your members then decide if they want to upgrade, so they text to our SMS Number (78889), our server then authorises and takes payment from their mobile phone. Once verified, our server sends your member a text message with a password in, they must then enter that password in the sms signup page on your forum (Supplied by us). Our server then verify's this once more, before sending back a success request to your forum, which then in turn, upgrades their usergroup to the VIP usergroup. Your members then have instant access to your premium content & private forum, and within minutes you have earned either ?1.50, ?3.00 or ?6.00 from that member, and it continues to bill their mobile phone, every week or month, untill they text STOP to 78889. We have a strict policy against scammers, and we ban such people from our network. We expect all members to adhere to strict rules and we insist on our customers displaying info on how your members can cancel at any time. Your members are sent these instuctions via text on how to cancel when they sign up, so everything is crystal clear from the start. When the next payment is due from your member, our server will automatically take the next payment off their mobile phone. If they have no credit left our server will notify your forum, which it will then downgrade their usergroup back to the one it was before it was upgraded. Its a fully automated system from start to finish. And all you've got to do, is worry about keeping the premium content up-to-date, giving them a reason to stay signed up as a VIP member. Example of LIVE Signup Page This page is 100% customisable, you can quickly edit the text in the vbulletin admin, or you can edit the whole template from the Templates & Styles in the admin. http://reversesms.net/sms_signup.php Show Your Support

I.E: 2x £1.50 = £3 Daily 2x £1.50 = £3 Weekly 2x £1.50 = £3 Monthly 2x £1.50 = £3 Yearly 3 x £1.50 = £4.50 Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly 4x £1.50 = £6 Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly 5x etc etc You can bill a member up to a maximum of £30 per day, providing they agree by responding via sms text message.

Version 1.1.2 now released.
Minor bug fix in the mobilebill settings in the admin that prevented the update of the billing frequency and billing amount. This is now totally customisable. Thanks MobileBill |

Hi there, great mod, installed.. However ive tried it out on a test account, and got it all working, but when it got upgraded to a "VIP" usergroup, it replaced the "registered usergroup" as primary usergroup, and now their are no permissions set, the account cannot view anything.. is there a way of making it a secondary user, so it will just have the added benefits, and no risj of losing the Original Benefits... i have updated the "Vip" usergroup permissions to what i want the to be, however it is being ignored, probably by another product.
Great work again, and am looking forward to a responce. Nick |
