sure, maybe stick them in your last spot in your cascade, but I would never give em the option of hitting it first.
Because most of the world does not have a credit card, and the internet is a global medium. Yes, credit card is and remains the best way of billing monthly subscriptions. But phone billing is a great way of offering trials for limited amounts of time - since you get less, you give them less, and you have a new revenue stream from surfers that were visting your sites anyway...
