Does anybody know exactly how they pay out to the owners of the websites (so how the money comes to us)?
I've heard many complaints on vBulletin.org regarding this not giving them what they require.
That is from there site.Quote:
MobileBill sends the Customer a unique Password to their Mobile Phone which must be entered into your website. This costs the Customer your specified billing amount either as a "one time" charge, or as a recurring subscription model, every day/week/month/year, until your customer texts "STOP" to 78889.
Our servers will authenticate the password that your user has input and instruct your software to upgrade membership status
The recurring thing sounds good, although somehow i can see them charging 5 quid to stop.
I have looked into this website http://www.mobilebill.net/ and also a thread about it on vbulletin.org http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=176134 .
There are a number of issues.
The company is still quite new, which means I don't know how reliable they are. Therefore it's better to wait a while and see what experience other people have with them.
They say you have to wait 3 months before you get the money, and also they only offer payments by paypal, which means we lose another percentage.
It is always a risk to install vbulletin plugins as they might contain exploits.
I don't like to let our members be charged automatically every month until they cancel, I think it's safer to only accept one-time payments. Also I am not sure how much the users are charged in total to make such a one-time payment.
All in all I want to wait a few months to see how this develops, and to hear the experiences from other forum owners that have actually received payments from them.
I use this, its great and it works fine. Has everything Habbox needs :)
