I'm in the country of Andorra for the next 2 weeks, working with the Global Acces team, and we've put together a short list based on questions we've had in the past about SMS Billing. Everyone wants it and needs it, they just don't know a lot about it. Here are some of the basics:
1) SMS is a process that uses a text message to authorize payment from a mobile phone or pre-paid cell phone.
2) The user is not charged for the text sent, but for the receipt of payment that is returned in a text.
3) Used best in countries outside of North America since credit cards are the preferred method of payment; however the rest of the world has been using SMS where available to pay for many things.
4) You can also use SMS to process non-adult wherever SMS is available. Things like charitable contributions, contests where there is voting involved, lotteries, e-books, etc (for those of you who have mainstream business)
5) Content is NOT delivered through the mobile phone. The user gets a pin code and number to text to which allows access to the site.
6) Access can be offered in minutes, hours, or days. For example, in the UK you can offer a week’s access to your site, and at the end of the week, you can rebill for another 10£ and give them another week of access. More countries offering weekly rebills are coming soon.
7) You can offer pay-per-jerk access to your site. Have clips or scenes available for a set amount instead of giving them access to your members’ area.
8) Sales are posted in real time.
9) True Anonymous billing – charge shows up on the phone bill as a text message.
10) Limits risk of abuse – No way can user deny making the sale.
Global Acces takes the risk out of processing obscure countries even further, they pre-pay you for the sale. Meaning, other billing companies who offer SMS hold the sale until they are paid by the carrier, then they pay you. Global Access pays you the Monday after the sale is made, guaranteed. No waiting 60 days to see if that sale made it through and didn't get charged back.
Here is a list of the countries Global Acces currently offers SMS in:
