Here is my story about txtnation.

Txtnation is a very dishonest company. I paid them a setup fee and the monthly fee one time before I finally found out that they decided to stop billing for my websites. Surprisingly, txtnation did not directly inform me. One of my customers forwarded me an email from txtnation which said that they are not legally able to provide billing for my websites. I was shocked that txtnation would treat its merchants and website subscribers with such contempt by continuing to process payments but not telling the webmaster or the customer that "we are not legally able to process payments".

People were still joining my site and wondering why they were not receiving a username/password. There were several occasions in which I found usernames/passwords in the password file but no credit was made to my account. Also, there were several times when people wrote me and said they paid with a sms or credit card and never got a password. I checked my account and did not find these transactions. I told them to write to [email protected] but [email protected] normally does not reply. I never got 1 reply from [email protected]

I finally started telling my customers to contact individual people at txtnation because [email protected] would not reply.

I also sent an email to txtnation asking for a payout but no response. I believe they intended to scam me from the beginning. They get webmasters to pay the sign-up fee and then screw them. I really liked the idea of billing with sms and I did not really care about credit cards. Txtnation has taught me the lession not to trust anyone on the internet who you don't know.

I am attempting to reverse the setup fee and monthly fee on my credit card which I paid through worldpay. Last time I checked, worldpay has stopped processing payments for txtnation. txtnation was listed (with worldpay) as selling telecommunications equipment. Actually, they provide billing services ... for adult and non-adult websites ... and worldpay forbids billing for adult websites.

I really feel sorry for anyone who uses txtnation. They are a house of cards ready to fall. I can't believe that they started processing payments through ibill.

Here, you can see all the credit card processors which they are using to bill for adult and non-adult sites (including ibill which was recently added)

I am sure txtnation will post lots of comments in this thread condeming me. The truth is that they approved my sites. I have numerous emails from them over the period of 1 week and they absolutely approved my sites and I did not violate any of their rules. They violated their own contract by not giving me 90 days notice before terminating billing.

Another adult site which was billing using txtnation was inbedwithfaith.com

If you click on the "bill with sms" option on that site, it now takes you to a credit card billing option instead of directing to txtnation signup. It seems they had problems with txtnation too. If you don't believe my story, contact inbedwithfaith to get their story.
