The good guys at Bplay let me know that they have added a cool new feature to their website. They now let you bill games to your cell phone and have it show up on your AT&T, T-Mobile, or Sprint bill. They might also be offering themes this way soon. Personally I can see a few benefits to this but I am curious to see what all of you think.
All you have to do is give them your email address, mobile number, country, and carrier and it will send you a premium SMS with your game link. I am not sure how they stop you from billing it to other peoples phone numbers though… (First thought that went through my head :))
Check it out on the Bplay site if you are interested. I wonder if this will be the new way to pay for mobile applications. I’m also curious to know if you have to pay your carrier SMS charge to get that premium SMS…

With AT&T I'm not charger for premium messages like this… it's all included with my $40 BIS plan, which includes unlim data as well as txt. I've used all kinds of short codes and never recevied the $9.99 charge.

If you have sprint and get a premium text message you will be charged $9.99 on your bill for it.

Why not Verizon? This is horse shit, maybe I want to be billed at the end of the month rather than put my c card number in now, I like the themes but I prefer buying through my bill which comes at the end of the month.
