Ohohohoho. I remember that night... I wasn't trying to come up with an efficient way to purchase bitcoins with SMS... I was just proving that at the time you could.

I don't think the steps I came up at that time would work now.

SMS payments are to expensive, mobile operator typically keep 30% of sms value for themself, so you should pay BITCOIN value + 30% to found by sms.

Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to get Bitcoins via SMS Payments.
last night I saw a thread with some offdate information, but with a really coherent method (From 2 years ago)

A (long) night of research has allowed me to produce a way to get Bitcoins from SMS Payments (from any Country PerfectMoney accepts, I will edit thread to clarify later).

First off (hopefully you already know this), you need a contract phone that is connected to a Credit Card, or a prepaid phone with a balance.

Using said phone you can fund an account on https://perfectmoney.com with an SMS Payment.
See "Instant SMS deposit" under "How to Deposit"

PerfectMoney can then be used to fund an https://www.okpay.com/ account.

From there you can fund your USD balance on https://tradehill.com where you can trade the USD for bitcoins.

I would not be surprised if there are other ways to go about this, especially if you live in a country that is covered by websites that allow direct bitcoin purchase by SMS payments. SMS payments certainly aren't the most efficient way of buying bitcoins, but it's a good use for all of those unused minutes on your prepaid phone.

Are nowadays some A-like method to fund bitcoins via Sms?  Huh I tried doing that but it appears that perfectmoney is no longer accepting sms payment Sad

(Sorry if poor english)
