Our SMS service can exist entirely via plain txt msgs.
Invoicing, checking balances and Locking bitcoin to gold
can all be done from your phone, without the need for the internet.
We are very excited to bring you this new development and
all the opportunities it brings.

Bitcoin can now boldly go where is hasn't gone before...

Happy Texting!

Great servic! The problem is that they act as bitcoin wallet providers and can be seen as bank. The service is like " phone banking" for your bitcoin.

Hi Nerazzura,

Glad you like it! We are excited to see how it will be used.

The service is available worldwide, except US.
We are always looking for ways to expand into the US but it is not possible at this time.

Coinapult pay the transaction fees (miners fees) for you.
There will obviously be the cost of a txt msg, which will depend on your contract.

This is very interesting, kinda like tipping someone over the phone, And what happens at the other side, say I send BTC to someone, and that someone doesn't knows much/none about bitcoin. Do they get their wallet made linked to their phone number as soon as they receive bitcoin?

They automatically have an account generated for them and are ready to start transacting immediately. The SMS wallet is integrated into our website and vice-versa, so people with internet access will graduate to the full bitcoin experience.

Wow, nice! This is a neat idea. It would be awesome if this was made available in the US soon!
