If your company pays frequently (weekly/bi-weekly/monthly) without any hold backs and long waits (in other words, you take the risk that you have to wait a long time to get the money from some slow foreign telcos) I surely am interested to jump back in again.
We have been dealing with Telcos for over 10 years now so we got some securities concerning the payments ;)
Most of the providers are long terms partners...

Payments are done bi-weekly or monthly as the webmasters convenience.
Example : all transactions made between the 1st and the 15th of the month are paid around the 18th.
All transactions made between the 16th and 31st are generally paid on the 4th of the following month.

2 years ago was still a bit early to make bank with SMS payments. Especially on the Internet. With that worldwide offer, now is the good time and i think this will last for at least the next 3-4 years minimum. Enough to build a business out of it for sure.
Every type of content nowadays is being billed by SMS, and in pretty much every country (look at any tv commercial at night for porn services, it was not that big 2-3 years ago. Same for free newspaper adult ads)
