    anyone know how to set up your own text message service?

    the kind where a user enters your # and you bill them @ 0.75 per txt message sent or w/e

    ?

    does this require some sort of cell phone merchant acct or what?

                  Get an account with an SMS aggregator, such as http://www.simplewire.com, http://mblox.com, etc. Write your application to interface with the aggregator for the SMS campaign logic and you should be good to go.

                  Or something like that.
                  Your post count means nothing.

                      good luck if you're billing for anything remotely adult related.

                          You're looking for an SMS aggregator. Get ready to fork over 40-60% of gross billing to the carriers, they're not cheap.

                                  of course not. its mainstream and our target audience is 18 and younger.

                                          You could always try cutting deals with carriers, but they they probably wont give you the time of day if you're not millions

                                              You can try the carriers directly but you probably won't get very far without large volume.
