Turbofilm.ru is now exactly paid

As some time ago it became known, Turbofilm planned to introduce pay-per-view TV shows. Here, finally, the news appeared with the details of payment. Someone said that this is good (after all, traffic, equipment - you have to pay someone for this), someone is bad (selling free serials is an unprecedented deception). I will not argue on this topic. For me, this is normal. But it seemed a little crazy to me, I quote:
We connected the most convenient payment method - SMS messages and tried to make the tariffs flexible and not expensive <...> There are no other payment options planned yet - only SMS

A little surprised at this decision, I went to read the comments, hoping to see the approximate end date for this “bye”, because we all know (well, if not everyone knew, now they will find out for sure) that operators take about 50% of the SMS fee, some more they take sms-billing and, finally, the amount received by the user is already reaching the site owner. So here. Scrolling through the answers, I come across the desired question and a more than strange answer:

Slightly surprised, I go to my profile, I choose Russia, MegaFon - you need to send an SMS to the number 8155 . Using copy-paste method in Google, I find the first billing available that provides services for this number:

Having estimated a little in mind, we get “the minimum overpayment for residents of Russia” in more than 40%. I understand, of course, that SMS is convenient, but why recruit and hide the real reason for which you do not plan to make payment with e-money? Let there also be these 66 rubles, but they will go to the owners of the resource, and not to those who are at least sideways involved in sending sms to the end user
