Using our phone and SMS billing you can decide yourself how big a % you are paying your webmasters, you can price your content yourself by choosing how much access time to allow for the various billing events and/or transaction values that our system support.
As phone / SMS billing is a micro payment platform we have also designed our access platform to work based on minutes and days vs normal normal credit card / ach that usually work based on days and months.
If you want to increase sales from especially eastern europe that is getting more and more buying power you need to offer them the payment options they can use, some of our popular SMS countries such as Russia, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Czech Republic, Poland etc is countries you would hardly see sales from if any at all if you based your business model strictly on card based transactions.

looking at you website i see you pay out on premium sms for example in germany 60 US cent, thats about 46 euro cent. the price for a premium sms for the end user is 2.99 euro? so where do the other ? 2.53 go? and the webmaster i have to pay from the 46 cents.
or: your site says payout for 9 minutes by phone in germany 6 dollars. i assume you charge the highest possible rate of ? 2.99 per minute, thats 27 euro or 35 dollar for 9 minutes - i am getting 6 dollar of that, 29 dollar go somewhere else. again: from the $6 i have to pay the webmaster as well - unless i want to shave those sales from him.
yes, i might make a few cents from some countries where credit cards or direct debit don't work - but the bitter taste in my mouth that others make a multiple of myself with my work and my content is much bigger. and yes, i know that a very high percentage already goes to the phone carriers, but that does not make it any better.
