Overview of the main SMS-billing
Recently, many services have appeared that offer to connect payments via SMS on the site. In fact, they represent a kind of layer between the web resource, the mobile operator and the end user. Such companies take the whole technical side of the matter on themselves - the site owner only needs to install a special code on his site that will contact the billing system at every payment.
The main drawback of SMS billing is the high commission of mobile operators. For example, a user sends an SMS worth 29 rubles, and the site owner, at best, receives only 18 rubles from them. However, recently, mobile operators and billing significantly reduce their commission. For example, when working under the “Mobile Commerce” scheme, the partner’s income can reach up to 70% -80% (depending on the liquidity of the goods and services being sold). There is a suspicion that these figures will only grow, because the market is huge and so far many businessmen prefer electronic payment systems and bank payments to SMS payments, all because of insufficient profitability.
