January 19, 2010 at 20:13Turbofilm.ru is now definitely paid
As some time ago it became known that the turbofilm planned to introduce a fee for watching TV shows. And finally, the news appeared with payment details. Someone said that this is good (because traffic, equipment - you have to pay someone for this), someone - bad (selling free TV shows is an unprecedented fraud). I will not argue on this subject. This is normal for me. But something else seemed a little abnormal to me, I quote:
A little surprised by this decision, I went to read the comments, hoping to see an approximate end date for this “so far”, because we all know (well, if not everyone knew, now they will know for sure) that the operators charge about 50% of the commission for SMS, a little more they take SMS billings and, finally, the owner of the site no longer gets the amount that the user gave. So here. Scrolling through the answers, I come across a question and a more than strange answer:
Slightly surprised, I go to my profile, I choose Russia, MegaFon - you need to send an SMS to number 8155 . By copy-paste method in Google I find the first billing that comes in that provides services for this number:
Having a little thought in mind, we get a "minimum overpayment for residents of Russia" of more than 40%. I understand, of course, that SMS is convenient, but why lie and hide the real reason why it is not planned to make payment with e-money? Let these 66 rubles be there, too, but they will go to the owners of the resource, and not to those who are involved in sending SMS messages to the end user at least somehow
We connected the most convenient payment method - SMS messages and tried to make the tariffs flexible and not expensive <...> No other payment options are planned yet - only SMS
