VIP + via SMS

[Ohirian]

I was wondering if there is any chance of adding a feature where you can buy VIP + by SMS?
As quite a few members don't have paypal and as you can't buy it for anyone else, VIP + is only going towards those select few. Whereas if a SMS feature was set up, it would generate much more income from the VIP + as more people would buy it.

True say, I would of bought if it it was buyable via SMS.

Same with me, even if I did have a paypal account, I couldn't pay money into it anyway

We'll have to look into this, a significant amount of people would have to use it as we pay a monthly rate along with the percentage cut they take, therefore if not enough people use the service we will make little (or perhaps even lose some). But its definitely worth looking into.

I would buy it monthly ever time it runs out because I find it's harder to get PayPal cash where as I have a contract phone, would be good if the SMS system had a certain amount of months you could buy instead of just one, or can you keep texting?

I understand that however as you've said I think it's an aspect that you should look into. Plus, the money you make from normal VIP sure cover costs anyway?

[Mr.OSH]

Yeah I very much agree with this idea however as nvr has said it all depends on if it is feasible currently and will be worth while. If we can get it set up and it isn't going to cause us problems I can't see why this wouldn't be implemented. Hopefully we can get this added as it would be useful by the looks of it.

I would still use my paypal to buy it but it would be more usefull if it was available to buy using SMS because not many people have paypal.

It'll have to be on trial basis at first to make sure at least some profit comes from it!

I wouldn't use it, as I use paypal, but it needs adding, so many people would buy it! You should also lower the prices nvr
