About Payement Gateways Phone Based (Pay by SMS or phone)

[bAsH]

What do you think about sms and phone payement solutions for WHMCS? I think it's a very good idea, not all have a credit card but all have a phone or a mobile phone and can pay via sms or call. Like www.allopass.com

In the UK you can expect 75%+ of the "reverse billed" charges to be disputed or fraudulent - it might be usefull for teens to pay for hosting their warez files, but IME thats about it.

How can they be frudulent? - no one can steal your phone number!

No, but phones get stolen all the time to be used for criminal activities.

Well, despite what has been said about the fraud risk factor and which is a valid point to consider, I actually quite like this idea. It's another method that people can use to transfer money and, as long as the usual fraud screening procedures are in place, I cannot see a problem with it.

Having just taken a look at the system, it looks really good!
