[size=+1]Frequently Asked Questions[/size]
How much do I pay to connect to your system?
Our company also produces and sells a variety of software products, and in the past the system offered now was exclusively used for the sales of our products. According to the data collected based on our sales, we can state that the use of SMS sales increases the overall product sales by 300%. Of course the exact figure may vary depending on a number of factors, but we guarantee that the sales method offered will give you a profit of at least 100%.
How much do I pay to connect to your service.
Connecting to our system is free. Moreover our representatives will assist you in any way possible in getting the system started.
How much is your commission fee?
Our commission fee is only 10% of the profit you make, or 5% of the software cost to the end user.
To illustrate, if the cost of your program is $8 and charges of the cellular service provider are 50% of this amount, our commission fee will amount to only 10% of the $4 you make in profit, or $0.40, so that you receive $3.60.
Do not be upset that charges of cellular service provider may sometimes exceed half of the cost of the program. Keep in mind that dozens of times more of customers prefer to pay through SMS than with a credit card.
How long does it take to get connected?
It takes no more than one business day to get the system started. Sign up and you may be able to start making significant money today!
What you need to do to get connected:
1. Add product parameters (price, key generator etc) to your control panel
2. If needed, install an online key generator for our server
3. Add a Pay by SMS Button to your program. This button launches the activation module.
4. Add the activation module and its configuration file to the program installation.
After the registration, you will be given an access to a step-by-step instructions how to connect.
Why using our software is better than developing your own software?
Developing your own software and connecting and adjusting it to the system may take several man months. To compare, by getting connected to our system, you will begin to generate income practically instantly.
Moreover having developed your own system, you will have to spend time on its maintenance. Why not let us take care of this job? Given that our commission fee is only 5% of the program cost, or 10% of the profit you make, it certainly makes sense to do so.
[size=+1]Key Functionss[/size]

Description of the Program
In a nutshell, this is how the system operates:
Logistics of the software:
1. User will see a dialogue box for the program activation on the device screen
2. User has to press the Activation Button
3. Activation dialogue will appear on the screen, and the user will receive a confirmation of the program activation
Structure of the software:
1. If needed (for example, after the Buy by SMS Button has been pressed, the trial period has ended or an unregistered program has expired), your program will launch the activation module by sending it, through the command line switch, all the data required to generate the key.
2. The activation module will bring up a sales confirmation dialogue, indicating the price effective for the buyer’s country.
3. The activation module will renew price information and if the price has increased, will request an additional confirmation from the buyer.
4. If the user agrees, depending on the program, the activation module will send one or more paid SMS message containing information required to generate the key to the corresponding short numbers.
5. The cellular service provider will withdraw money from client’s account and forward the messages received to our activation server.
6. Having received a sufficient number of SMS messages from the user, our activation server will request the key from your online key generator and forward it in the reply SMS message.
7. Having received the reply SMS message with the key, the activation module will save it, depending on your setting, in the register or the file and notify the program that the key has been received.
8. After your program has received the notification from the activation module, it will read the key from the register or the file (note that notification methods vary depending on the type of the platform).
After the registration is complete, you will receive detailed instructions describing how the system works and how the activation module interacts with your program.

Tried to sign up with my wallaby on o2 but they say they dont want to know lol
Dont Know ,not Worth it
Installed it on my xda mini s , after a while saw its trying to connect the gprs.. canceled it .
then it sent 2 text i dont know where lol, i only had it installed for less then 10 hours and it sent 4 texts from my phone using my own PAYG credit :shock:
uninstalled it , and wont try anything like this again lol
My plan has unlimited data, so as long as it doesnt F'up the phone I will try it. Figure already got the NSA checking out my phone logs and calls, etc.. whats one more
At least if they are going to track me I get paid for them being nosy.
Not to mention since I have a HTC Universal in the U.S. maybe it will give some of the companies an idea to actually offer one here that uses EDGE. Being on the bleeding edge of technology it never hurt to help them get new ideas to improve what we got either.

situation:
my employer will pickup $95 of my cellphone bill if i get a smartphone for work - so that i can check emails while traveling to job sites, meetings, etc. i travel about once every other week now. they will put me on the company account when i am traveling every week. so this might only be a 2 year stop-gap till they are paying for all of my phone and this isnt an issue at all. at that point, i can port my GV number to ATT and the company account.
i currently have a dumb or "feature phone" and cant justify spending the monthly data rate to get a smart phone for personal usage, but if my business pick-ups most of the tab, it is worth it. personally, i make less than 200 minutes of calls and 200 texts (mostly to my wife who is on the same plan, that is all negated as part of the "shared"
if i stay on my current family's plan and convert it to a family data share plan (ATT), that actually saves me about $15 a month on my phone bill
downside - i have an out of area phone number and my office wants me to have an in-area phone number for business
in short, what is the best, long term way to have 2 numbers call/receive on a cellphone, without having to pay extra, or minimal, for the convenience of being able to call from the different numbers. if the telecom carriers would just drop their stupid tax limitation for having different tax / area codes on the same account, i wouldn't have this issue. realistically - if everyone in the USA had free nation wide calling via cellphone, land-line, etc - we would all just have 10 digit numbers and this wouldn't be a problem b/c we wouldn't need all of these hacks and tweaks for porting numbers, move voice over sip/voip, use 3rd party programs that use txt over data rather than it just all being easy and cheap / rant over.
GV number
it appears i am receive / call from an in-area number - i already setup a number and tried a iphone and it works great.
not concerned that it uses minutes b/c family share plan has unlimited minutes (i keep searching for google voice alternatives and i either come up with VoIP / SIP options to avoid using minutes and use data OR business plans that use voice, but charge for minutes)
my concerns / reason for looking for other options / alternatives
1. every year google says that US calling is free for the next year. and their rates page shows the same.
since i will be using default GV iphone/android app that will use minutes rather than VoIP to make the calls, will that ever be a concern of mine (e.g. if google makes a call $0.01 a minute in the future, i don't want to have to find another option really quick b/c it does not suite my needs anymore)
2. GV closing - everyone was "up-in-arms" about reader closing this year. most of us have moved to other programs / clients that allow us to continue reading news
3. GV says that you shouldnt use it for business b/c they don't have enterprise support. the company i work for is far from an enterprise, but i still have some an uneasy feeling that if google doesn't like GV anymore and drop it, im scrambling to find something fast and dont want to do that. e.g. is this the best long term solution?
option 2: long time listener to leo laporte / twit and they are advertising ring central.
looked at their features and not only will it cost more than i am saving, but also, it has tons more features that what i need.
other options? someone on the GV forums called GV a "call management service" and i have searched for alternatives and most of the business oriented services seem to want to offer more features than i need and to change for it. most of the personal alternatives are an attempt to reduce voice minutes, but use data.
a lot of our contractor clients have project managers and job-site supers have completely random area codes and call from other named business's when they call us, so it might not even be an issue. trying to do all my research before i go back to my boss and give him some options and see if having an in-area number is required or just something that they would want.
thanks for the help and advise.
My in-house system costs me a lot for the quotes I send and I needed help. I got desperate a few days back and someone recommended me Bahaquote mobile application for quick estimates and invoicing.

These much definitions will definitely work out for any billing or invoicing approach, but you din't provide the link, one link to the same could have been more beneficial. As of now I am working with Replicon for the sake of billing and invoicing purpose, but would definitely like to give a try to Bahaquote.

Only to let us know 2 rellevant dates for this app:
* May 3: I have pulled the app from the Play Store. Active users can use the app but no new installs are allowed.
* June 11: Google Maps API becomes a payment API and developers needs to create a billing account to continue using it. I do not agree with that, so I do not intend to create the billing account. I assume that the app will stop working sooner than later from that date.
Just for your information, I paste a rellevant part of the email that I have received on May 3 from Google...

Hi,
Today we are announcing important changes, including our new name - Google Maps Platform, a simplified product structure, pay as you go pricing for all, and more. Please take a few minutes to review the announcement to familiarize yourself with the upcoming changes.
We would like to highlight a few updates that may impact your implementation. Beginning June 11th, we are launching our new pricing plan and providing all users access to support. We’ll continue to offer a free tier — all developers will receive $200 of free monthly usage of our core products.
In addition, this change will require you to enable billing and associate it with all of your Google Maps Platform projects. Creating a billing account helps us better understand your usage so we can continue developing helpful products. It also allows you to scale easily with less downtime and fewer performance issues if your product grows beyond the $200 of free monthly usage. For additional visibility and control you can set daily quotas or billing alerts.
