thanks Title: Re: bitcoin by sms ? Post by: Miiike on November 12, 2015, 02:43:37 PM how about the mobile apps? Its better than writing a sms, IMO.
I never tried their "buy bitcoin" option, but I know that Xapo has that option on their mobile app. And I heard that blockchain mobile app also has certain feature to buy btc Title: Re: bitcoin by sms ? Post by: Blawpaw on November 12, 2015, 02:49:54 PM I think that M-Pesa along with Bitpesa already lets you send Bitcoin by SMS but I'm not really sure. you better take a look at this:

https://bit4coin.net/ http://bitby.co/ http://sms.btc-sm.com/ http://www.bitcoin-services.co.uk/sms-to-bitcoin.php http://btcforsms.com/ Title: Re: bitcoin by sms ? Post by: jackthedoe on November 12, 2015, 02:53:36 PM I would not recommend to buy bitcoin with sms, well i'm just speculating since i don't know if there is an service who provide that, but looking how things are going through this service, im sure that it will charge to you a expensive fee.

"The price contain current BTC exchange rate and mobile operator fee. This fee is high, so the price for 0.00005 BTC will be about $3" Also same is the case for bit4coin where the payment is to be made via International Bank Transfer which would again involve a lot of fees, atleast from where I live. But it's still exciting to see such services exist in the need for emergency purchases. Title: Re: bitcoin by sms ?

Title: Re: bitcoin by sms ? Post by: FrostStick on November 14, 2015, 12:42:16 AM I'm 99% sure that http://www.bitcoin-services.co.uk is a scam. I remember trying their earn free bitcoins function once and they never paid.
Just beware of scams OP. Title: Re: bitcoin by sms ? Post by: bitbaby on November 14, 2015, 04:59:30 AM How exactly does one buy Bitcoins by SMS?? Or does OP means something else because up until now I was under the impression to buy/sell bitcoins you either go to an exchange or find a trader elsewhere. How do you exactly pay for Bitcoins with sms?

How do you exactly pay for Bitcoins with sms? I think the seller of the BTC deducts credit from your prepaid mobile... Or something similar like that. I'm not sure. Title: Re: bitcoin by sms ? Post by: tyz on November 15, 2015, 01:32:43 PM It highly depends on the country where you come from. Here in Europe there are a couple of Services for buying Bitcoin with SMS.

Very helpful but.. https://bit4coin.net/ doesn't offer this service. The send a voucher by SMS http://bitby.co/ will start in the future .... http://sms.btc-sm.com/ is Scam http://www.bitcoin-services.co.uk/sms-to-bitcoin.php Out of order... http://btcforsms.com/ only in Poland.. i did found also http://www.btcpayments.mobi/ send a SMS and still waiting for an reply...maybe not working http://www.btc4sms.com/ not operating anymore. Most of the Services like "Buy Bitcoin by SMS" are not working. Why? The Rules and Regulations of the Phone Biller? Title: Re: bitcoin by sms ? Post by: onleines on April 19, 2016, 08:31:36 PM Actually was a new Service Announcement for a new SMS Service calling SatoshiSMS

Post by: Slowturtleinc on April 19, 2016, 08:38:55 PM Lot of scam services or sites that are no longer active that still take your money but pay nothing. Guess the latter is a scam as well since it does not take much energy to close a website. Be careful using this service model as it does have a high amount of scam sites connected to SMS for bitcoin.
Title: Re: bitcoin by sms ? Post by: davinchi on April 20, 2016, 07:41:00 PM I think buying Bitcoins through SMS depends on your country's SMS services. In a country I know of, SMS services are really
common so people can easily buy bitcoins through SMS. However, the fees are really high. Title: Re: bitcoin by sms ?

Yes you are right.There are services that OP has asked for but they limit their seevices only to some countries.Moreover most of.the services are still in development phase.I think fees these services are charging contains exchange fee as well . Their is a main drawback that:- These services does not requires verification or any id proof. |
