MoM Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 basically, I've wanted to be a subscriber (or just pay in any way) for some time, but : I'm too young to have a credit card The 'pay by phone' isn't supported in my country and offers too little credits for me to consider it now, after a while, I bumped into a site that offered the kind of payment that suits me : pay by sms... basically it works like this : you make a main account, you transfer money to your main account via sms, from you main, you transfer money to other sites... the site is called mopay : [url="http://mopay-inc.com/"]http://mopay-inc.com/[/url] Mur said he'd accept any form of payment... I want to pay that way... is it possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin Muratus del Mur Posted August 8, 2011 Root Admin Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 I contacted them to ask for an offer. Based on that i will decide if i can work with them or not. The problem with phone payments is that they ask a HUGE percentage, for example from the phone payments that are implemented now on the site I pay about 80% to them. I keep them more so people can use that method too, not because of the income that is ridiculously low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fyrd Argentus Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Child of the digital age..... (shakes head) I just have to ask..... is there something wrong with just mailing a check? MoM and Chewett 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin Chewett Posted August 11, 2011 Root Admin Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 (edited) Cheque? as soon as i got my first debit card, i also got my first chequebook, before then i had neither so paying for such games was indeed done via the phone.

MoM Posted August 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 @Fyrd, I'm 16... I don't really have a bank account, so I can't pay via checks OR credit cards OR... I do have a phone however, and it's extremely simple to pay through that, so, as Chewett said, [quote name='Chewett' timestamp='1313067887' post='90007'] so paying for such games was indeed done via the phone.

Root Admin Muratus del Mur Posted August 11, 2011 Root Admin Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 sadly i cant work with them, they ask a big initial setup fee and a monthly maintenance fee that i am sure it wont be covered. We dont have that may payments per month by phone to cover the monthly cost. So i i can't pay a few hundred euro on this , sorry. Paybycash system covers a lot of countries what country are you in that you cant use that one? There is always WU option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoM Posted August 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 (edited) WU seems tough for me... I don't think my parents would encourage paying for a game (I am planning on spending all my phone credit surplus which is about 20$ per month, but I can't spend them every month, so I'll probably have to save and spend when it's a large amount, and they wouldn't want that =P) by the way, are there some systems (like Paypal for example) that would let you transfer funds from your phone? If so then I think there wouldn't be troubles... or basically I can just nag my parents for a credit card =P I guess it'll work out eventually...

MoM Posted September 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 okay, so here's another site I found : [url="http://text2pay.com/"]http://text2pay.com[/url] hope this one can work out =S from what I've read, they don't charge a monthly fee, but rather 10% take from what you take originally, not sure I read thoroughly though... side note : in case Mur doesn't see that, any suggestions on what I should do? or would the Master advertiser (Mr. Move-Lock me when moving BFH) look it up?

Root Admin Muratus del Mur Posted September 27, 2011 Root Admin Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 You checked the PBC (Paybycash) methods? they have pretty many ways for "non-paypal" payments. Phone payments are really a killer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChildOfTheSoul Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 (edited) MoM, Western Union seems difficult at first, but if you just try it you'll find that it's quite easy and pretty interesting. People will give you funny looks and think you're cool for sending a random sum of money to Romania. Are there any places that sell gift cards where you're from? I know there are several online video game cards that cover a wide spread and PBC works with. There's one called the ultimate gaming card that wal-mart and gas stations sell. Like I said, I don't know where you're from, but those are two options that are more or less global.

MoM Posted September 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 none of them can work, cz all I can do is send via my phone, other than that, I don't really have any money ^^ and CoTL, I live in Lebanon, a small country in the middle east... and no we barely have anything there !

ChildOfTheSoul Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 (edited) Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't read the "surplus phone credit" comment a couple of posts back. Sorry, I guess you're out of luck if none of the current phone options work. Oh well, save up some money and then pay. and if it's your money, there's no moral or ethical obligation to tell your parents per se....

Elthen Airis Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 If you have the money as cash, then you could just gather a little and ask any of your friends to actually send the payment through their credit card with your money, it shouldn't be that hard and you won't need one. It's a small favor, i believe anyone could do. Chewett 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin Chewett Posted September 28, 2011 Root Admin Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 he has stated, numerous times that he has suplus phone credits, and wants some way to use it. And doesnt have very much physical money so as to use WU or another similar payment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragual Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Maybe there is a way to get that phone money in cash back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoM Posted September 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 [quote name='ColdSteel566' timestamp='1317257991' post='92778'] Maybe there is a way to get that phone money in cash back? [/quote] sadly no, I could use a different method (recharging my phone with less credits than I usually do) but my parents won't give me whatever change is left, so then I won't have some physical money, nor will I still have my credits surplus though I keep searching for 'pay-by-phone' methods, I found this, and if what Mur said at first : [quote name='Muratus del Mur' timestamp='1312838596' post='89853'] ... I keep them more so people can use that method too, not because of the income that is ridiculously low. [/quote] still stands true, then maybe this could be implemented (cz they only take a percentage, and from what I've read, only 10%) NOTE : I am not by any way saying that Mur wasn't saying the truth or anything like that before, and I mean no offense to anyone who understood it like that.
