The SMS billing alternatives rocks lately, especially for european traffic. I have experiences with SDStelecom(british traffic) & nocreditcard's new sms billing services. Both working fine. European people aren't used to use creditcard, but they are very used to use their celluar phone. For example, in Czech Republic(my czech card isn't accepted by most cc processors) there are sth about 8,000,000 cellphones(that's 80% of population) and people uses them to pay for some services allready(for example, cinema tickets).
The other fact is, that cellphone operators are charging relatively high charges for SMS transactions, but it's not too high, when comparsed to cc processors fees. The cinema ticket cost is around $4 here & the operator fee(when paying by SMS) is about 30 cents for that.
What do you think about the future of SMS billing?
