In the past I heard of a company called 37coins that allow users to make bitcoin transaction via SMS. However, it has been closed down due to low usage and high operating cost.

Otherwise, I do not know if there is other that allow similar things. SMS is costly by the way.

Not sure if exist, but that would be not good for anyone, most money would go to telephone comanies and it would be very expensive to get bitcoin through that method :/.

Exactly said, the more process it takes place more will be the transaction charge. This truly makes big impact over the users to avoid such methods of transaction.

I believe this has existed in the past in African countries where it is difficult to have an internet address and people can buy into bitcoins and transfer to friends by using their phone balances.

This might work quite well,  already i can pay for playstation games just by sending a message with my phone and it gets charged against my phone bill.  Don't see why this couldn't get implemented into bitcoin as well.  The fees would have to be fair though or no one would do it.

Related, this is why you cannot buy bitcoin via any Google application or service, especially with Google wallet funds. They get a third of the cost of in app purchases from indy devs, that I'm pretty sure the developer would simply pass on to you. Unless you want a 33% 'transaction fee', you most likely won't be purchasing.

i was thinking the same, bitcoin paid with sms would be way too expensive. i dont belive a service like that would have clients(at least, not enough to justify it)..

Isn't this going to make transactions in Bitcoin more expensive? For me international SMS charges are very high and it would infact only be useful only if I intend to make some very large payments. For smaller payments using SMS to transact Bitcoins would not be much beneficial.

If you'd like to send/receive bitcoins via SMS check out coinbase's 'Bitcoin SMS Service' or 'Coinapult's' Bitcoin sms service. Both these large companies are providing this facility.

This is the problem, the costs are really high and it's always better to find another way to buy Bitcoins.
Though it could be handy for someone who just wants Bitcoins right away to test it out.

Check out this site, maybe some of these options still work:

As stated the fee is usually pretty large and the sites you wander across on the net are usually defunct or scams.
Think it has a little to do with the wire act for why it is not available world wide. Seems to be available to people in Africa as mentioned and certain spots in Europe.
North America never seems to have any such companies providing the service and would most likely run into trouble.

Think the last one I used was connected to paypal some how but it was years ago.

Its to bad because it is a service that people would use if the fee was not to high and it was available world wide.

It would be great if we could buy bitcoins with SMS or phone calls.

I think it would be very convenient.
