Unexploited Revenue Source?

Has anyone got any experience in using premium rate SMS text
messages to monetise a site?

There was one a while back called Grab A Condom I think, but
they've stopped taking orders right now.

I'm looking for a provider in the UK that will let me set up a 6-8
digit mobile number that charges users when they send a text
message to it.

 

I'd be interested in some info about this too. Has anyone dealt with any phone companies about this?

 

I found http://www.kapow.co.uk/ in the UK. Looks pretty good

 

The europeans are ahead of the game compared to americans when it comes to mobile.

It's only a matter of time before an attractive revenue model will get american marketers to charge in in droves. When that happens, the incentive will be there for us to pick up the slack.

 

I think clickatel has that service too

 

To anyone taht has tried it, have you had much success with it?

 

I have a friend who used a similar service to Kapow to offer the distribution of wallpapers and ringtones he produced via his site. The company would take a 20% cut of all revenue generated through the texting service as payment i believe. I'll try and get a name for you.

Regards,

 

Could you please provide the link?
