Title: [CLOSED] CellCoin
Post by: TangibleCryptography on May 22, 2012, 03:30:52 AM
Update 12/08/2012:
We at Tangible Cryptography LLC have decided to close CellCoin.  Our distributor is changing compensation agreement and while we could seek alternatives the truth is our core business (Bitcoin purchases & sales) is resource intensive.  After a discussion among the partners we have decided to focus on our core enterprise to improve the quality of that service.  As a small startup, with limited resources it is better for us to do one thing and do it better than anyone else than dividing resources among multiple projects.

Any chance your system/provider is integrated with Canadian pre-paid airtime as well? :D

Not yet but we are looking into that possibly with a different provider.

Effective 5/23 there is no discount on Virgin or Boost Mobile refills (any denomination).  They have cut commissions to independent dealers by 70% across the board.  Part of Sprint Prepaid Group's "strategic alignment" (aka cut out all the distributors and dealers). 

Sorry about that but it is out of our hands.  It is bad news for us too as I have sold more Virgin pins than all others carriers combined.  Pins & RTR (direct recharge) will always be available on demand @ MtGox last price.

Your carrier may have a limit on the maximum balance which can be loaded to your account.  I learned today that Virgin Mobile (and Boost Mobile) limits accounts to a $200 prepaid balance.   Trying to add a pin which causes the account balance to exceed the max load will fail.  Check with your carrier if you are looking to load a significant amount on your phone. Yes some of our customers put the pre in prepaid!

Known limits:
Virgin Mobile - $200
Boost Mobile - $200

Using a prepaid cell phone plan?  Well if you aren't you should. When you can get an unlocked Galaxy Nexus for $400 (works with 200+ carriers around the world) and a $30 to $50 prepaid plan why pay more?  Since you need airtime refills anyways why not pay for it with Bitcoins and save a couple percent.

I just tried out this service and can vouch for it. Got my code in under an hour, will be back for more!

I got an order completed early this week for TracFone minutes that went very smoothly. It's convenient to be able to refill just by sending numbers back and forth online... Bitcoin was made for services like this.

+1 for this service.  Excellent turn around time and customer support.  I maxed out my Virgin Mobile phone.  Yes, that was me.

Awesome! I will be sure to use next time I need to buy minutes.

I see you're selling GreenDot cards at a good rate as well. We need more vendors like you!

Please try not to disappear like so many others who have offered this kind of service.

They are all US wireless.  We are looking at a new vendor which will offer an expanded line up including IMTU (International Mobile Top Up) which allows unified refills on just about any international prepaid carrier (400+ carriers in 102 countries).  There are a couple technical issues to work out though.

I'd be interested if you supported Greek carriers at some point. Looking forward....
Congrats for the useful service :)

Our current distributor doesn't offer the international wireless.  We are looking to change distributors in the near future to hopefully expand our offering to 450 carriers in 103 countries ... including Greece.

There are some people who won't (yet) use bitcoin but would use this service for purchasing wireless refills.  This is true particularly for businesses.  Would you consider some day accepting Dwolla as a payment method for these?

Our current distributor doesn't support international carriers so we will need to switch to a new distributor to support non-US carriers.  It is an expansion we are looking into but our FastCash4Bitcoins has kept us pretty busy.

I see the BitMit prices are way out of whack ... I can buy this $100 gift card for about 5 BTC:
 - http://www.bitmit.net/en/trade/i/2846-100-at-t-gophone-prepaid-wireless-refill-card/description

Obviously, what happened is that Bitmit is using a VWAP (volume weighted average price) but the data is crap because of the BTC-e hacking. 

So ...  just a heads-up on this.

We do NOT carry StraightTalk and Tracfone PINS will NOT work.  I have asked our distributor in the past and I am surprised they haven't added them given ST growing popularity.  I will send another inquiry about adding ST to the lineup.

We actually do have the ability to generate Red Pocket Mobile PINs.  I need to check the with distributor on the discount.  Worst case scenario is it would be retail price.

Red Pocket $10 Pin
Red Pocket $25 Pin
Red Pocket 3G $19.99
Red Pocket 3G $29.99
Red Pocket 3G $39.99
Red Pocket 3G $49.99

I need to do some research.  If you can fund your ipad 3G account by Verizon prepaid PIN codes then it likely will work.  If it is prepaid but can only be paid by credit card then it won't work.

looks like that's a no then. seems it is credit card only unless there is a way to have Verizon do it manually

add another vote to push for Straighttalk though. have a family member i'd buy for and have quite a few friends using it i'd help get bitcoins :)

That's unfortunate.

BitcoinWireless has not yet launched either.  That least BTCBuy as the sole remaining source.  Each month I refill my mobile phone service (currently Virgin Wireless prepaid, previously T-Mobile prepaid) and use either CellCoin or BTCBuy and have had great experiences with both.

Thanks to uncertainty introduced by FinCEN, BTCBuy is gone too. Time to start lobbying the carriers to accept Bitcoin?
