Title: UK btc SMS deposits blockchain
Post by: canucrackit on November 16, 2012, 10:43 pm
Anyone tried out SMS deposit with blockchain? Got a load of SIM cards, I'm thinking buy topup vouchers and then do their SMS deposit. But heard talk that money sometimes goes missing, doesn't work with all networks and high fees. Also I haven't got an android or iphone, so can't get pingit. It wont even work on my ipod. Considering getting one if its the only decent way of funding

I've looked at bitcoin via SMS in the past but the cost seems prohibitively expensive.

I used to use Intersango but since they stopped UK deposits I switched to using Virwox.

It works out slightly more expensive as you have to convert ££ to Linden Dollars (L$ - used in Second Life) and then from L$ to bitcoin, but you can fund your account with Paypal & Moneybookers and transfer out via bitcoin instantly.

Not tried SMS deposits but have recently started Pingit after Intersango went tits up with UK deposits again.

Simple as anything and fast. If you can get it sorted I would recommend it.
