I'm going to have to agree with this, in no order, and it's just me experience for the past couple of years:
- US providers won't let you bill adult (hopefully it's just a "yet").
- If you're talking SMS in the US - it's ridiculous what you get after the SMS aggregator and carrier take their share. That's after you can pass your shortcode campaign through all carriers' dissimilar requirements.
- I have yet to see a company come out, even in the europe market, that offers solid billing (I'm from the US, mind you), that's not a pain in the ass to register for. Cingular phones seem to be the only ones easily going through UK-based mobile billing solutions.
- Only solution I know of, to vend image / video / ringtone for handsets is the WURFL, and that's pretty spotty. Doing Java apps and getting approved on carriers for that is a whole other deal.
There's a bunch more shit I'd talk, being jaded having come from web to wireless, but that's what I've found.
There's a Dr. Jones dude on this board who, in his posts, gives me hope, but until he gives it again, I'm just jaded about mobile development in regard to adult content.
