SMS Payments Solutions Limited is a company registered in England and Wales (number: 08019606)

I remember when it was in its first stages of development and thinking what a great idea it was. Congrats on finally getting it off the ground, I can see it making you a wealthy man :P What are the exchange rates like? I assume it doesn't take for example £10 and give you exactly £10 in your paypal account?

@David;* :@

good luck with it

Weld done and good luck with it :)

Good luck with it :) Hopefully Habbox will start using it ;)

Wow I'm glad you completed it! Just out of curiosity, how is the charge calculated (e.g. Need £4 pay £6)? Is it just a fee or are Paypal charging you? In future, will this go down or will you have special offers like a no fee day or whatever.

Hey Mark, I believe it's made up by the fee which Impulse are charging and another which is made by SMStoPayPal. Maybe Ross can explain more about that.

I'm glad you like it, and if you experience any problems then drop us a line. :)

I think there's a glitch as by default it displays: you need £4 and you pay £7 but when you enter it manually its saying you only get charged £6. The large fee is putting me off it imo

Yeah it does glitch sometimes, I entered 1.00 at one point and it said I was going to be charged £14.00. Then I typed it in again and it corrected itself to £2,00 or w.e :L

Good idea and nice site :)

Yeah we'll be sorting that out in the next day or two. About the fee, we'll try and see what we can do so that it's lower.

looks good though Ross!

good luck with this :)

sick lol it owes me a tenner tho ;P

Easy to get around ect... Will 4 sure be using this site, :)

Can I suggest that you change "amount you wish to send" to "amount you wish to pay" or add an extra converter because if I only had, say, £19 and wanted to spend it all, I'd have to go through 1-13 before I figured out how much I would actually be getting.

Looks super ross. n you got a banner!!! lol

Wish it was open for Australia though ;l

OMFG this is a GREAT way for me to buy stuff and jus shove it on my phone bill... I'm so happy im gna try use it right now if it works

the large fee's is a huge put off imo, but i like the concept
like 22 pound costs 30 lol if i was to constantly use that i would just set up a paypal account myself and connect it with my bank to save myself 8 pound each time i wanted to use it

OMG YOU CANT GET MORE THAN 50? What is the reason for that? Also think my phone company just DECLINED when I tried to do it more than once...

WOO IVE JUST TRIED IT :D What an exciting thing, and it looks great! :)

You're only able to request £30 per day (£1000 per month) so that's why it was declined. :)

Thanks haha, I mean two years in development... I hope i end up wealthy :P They arn't brilliant as phone companys take a huge chunk, We have a few events this year where we come in contact with them, So the more we make, the lower they go. I assure you of that.

Although personally, USA > Canada > Australia, Due to our standings.

In regards to the fee, I believe on say a £5 transaction impulsepay take almost £2 then they obv need to stick on a small % for themself + VAT :P so it's not ross trying to get like £2.50 profit per transaction as they only get like 1/4 of what impulsepay get lol

Made my first transaction, very glad its open it all went smoothly :) Thanks Ross!

Just so everyone knows SMStoPayPal will most likely be down for the duration of this week, due to essential maintenance, Plus moronic people eh.
