For new accounts (gmail, etc). Just a heads up. I guess the gmail spamathon was getting old.:thumbsup

Given their size, the SMS costs are a drop in the bucket.

I noticed this yesterday, kinda sickened I didn't set up a few spare accounts when the going was good :)

The big question is who else will follow their lead.

Regardless, if the traffic/money is there, a PVA market will appear. Doubt this? Think Craigslist and FB, among others.

Interesting, is it one account for one phone number? Lots of people use multiple accounts for legit reasons, including me.

this will hopefully help with some of the scamming fucks setting up google accounts to card the shit out of tons of programs..

Probably has more to do with their ad programs... more specifically, the abuse of such programs.

been like that for weeks? months?

You mean because of stuff like this?

I doubt that the hosting company or whoever is paying full price for the AdWords credits ... wouldn't surprise me if Google subsidizes some of that and loses out in the end, too.

I noticed this few month ago and I have 5 gmail accounts on One phone number, so it's not against Spam I guess.

how is this working internationally? will they discriminate against people that don't have sms capability?

yawn... welcome to about 3 months ago...

and btw, you can create around 10 accounts via 1 mobile #. so, if you dont have a cell phone (lol) then you can use a friends...

yeah i made a thread about this last month or something

um thanks for the idea .........

Then you'll probably need to get all your dupes authorized.... either way, the legit ones will have the patience to get them approved, the spammers will move onto the next service, as spammers have no patience. Time is money. :2 cents:

I've been wondering this myself, as my country is not supported.
