How to integrate pay by mobile phone service

[bearaman]

Hi All,
I'm interested in adding the ability to pay for services with mobile phone text message but I don't know where to start.
What I'd like is to add the ability for customers to pay me by sending a text message to me. The amount would be deducted from their mobile bill or balance.
What services are available to help me do this?
Thanks,
Bearaman

Let me know when you find out

Try this crowd - Phonovation Ltd.

I know of one website that accepts payments by users ringing a number and it's debited from their phone account.

Let me know if they do SMS options

Thanks for the replies. I'll contact phonovation and see what they offer. I though Daft did a text payment before where you had to send them a text that would cost you 2 euros. That's the kind of thing I'm talking about. Let you both know if I find out anything else.

Just got this back from Zong support


Dear Customer,
Our customer support team personnel has replied to your support request #269776
Dear Sir,
You would be best off writing the application yourself using our new development platform at ZDN - Zong Developer Network
http://www.zong.com will also be "decomissioned" at the end of the month.
Kind regards,
Serge
