Title: Mobile Top Up using bitcoins
Post by: umbrel on October 07, 2013, 07:31:06 PM
Hi, I've launched my project couple weeks back http://www.spend-a-bit.com (http://www.spend-a-bit.com),
It allows to top up prepaid mobile phones in 100+ countries worldwide.

Please, let me know your thoughts, suggestions.
Would it be interesting to anyone?

I would try it out, but you don't support Simyo (which is owned by KPN) in The Netherlands. So bad luck for me.

Thanks for your interest, I'll check if we can get it, however european providers are not very talkative.
I didn't try this exact operator, but some others want us to deposit some million euros to start with.

This sounds interesting. I hope you provide Singapore and UK service providers.

Hi Mariko,
We have 3 providers in Singapore: M1, SingTel, StarHub. Which provider do you have in mind?
For UK it's complicated, but hopefully we will finalize couple of agreements in a month, stay tuned.

If you're interested, you can subscribe for notification whenever we add your provider here: /GahUf]http://[Suspicious link removed]/GahUf (http://[Suspicious link removed)

EDIT: Link gets automatically cut from my post, but you can find it on website if you enter phone number of operator we don't support into the form

I can write a review of your service if you can send me a mobile topup to test. If you're interested, send me a private message.

On the home page it says:

'How long it takes?'

You should change that to 'How long does it take?'

Also:

'did a mistake' --> 'made a mistake'

Linuxnewbie, thank you, English is not my native language, so sometimes I do really stupid mistakes. Included to the next release.

b!z, sorry, not ready for charity at the moment, collecting donations/investments myself
