    i think the pay system could be better and heres how. there a game i play {not say what it is} that if u want to be a mem u can pay 3 ways credt card. money orders. or sms phone.

    what would relly help out if this site did sms phone or text. becaues i know that there are some people out there that dont have a credit card. and i know for a fact that some people can,t wait. so if this site had sms phone then it wouild amke every one happy{i think}

    {to people who post let me know what u dont understand and i will explain it more}

    SMS would cost us too much to implement, and money orders would also incurr processing costs, not to mention the work involved in adding points to accounts and stuff. With our current system its all automatic.

    Although it sounds like a good idea, it would all depend on how much itll cost to set up, and how hard/how much effort admin feels like putting into it.

    Edit: loony beat me to it :p

    There are two ways to pay for this, one is a set fee per charge, not sure how much it'd be but this would probably add up quite quickly. The second way is a yearly payment of $1,000 and then it's quite cheap to do it (if I remember correctly from when I looked into this)

    However, far from all countries support this; I know, for instance, that Denmark has a rule that SMS charges can be more than $1.85 per charge or something. Don't think Norway allows it either.

    Probably not though, I think it'd be too much work to setup and configure. Also you can get a debit card at like age 15 right? (Visa Electron?) At least that's the required age in Denmark, and I'm really not sure I want to sell to people younger than that.

    Further to that you can buy a Visa 'Prezzie card' from just about any post shop. Its kind of like a 'pre payed' visa, you just credit it with your own money.

    Those specific cards are special to NZ though, I'm sure you should be able to get similar payments.

    Almost every western country has some form of pre-pay credit/debit card.
