How the hell are you going to pay by phone? O.o

I've heard of it...

Basicly you dial a number and the money comes off of your monthly phone bill.

Hrmm, I think you need a certain type of account but I'm not 100% sure on it. I've really only seen 1 site use it and that's Runescape.

That would be cool. Sounds easier than paypal and even a kid can donate. Erm...just need to think of a way to get his/her parents to pay the bill after that XD

Can you really say this is easy? Do you know how to sign up for this? Do you know if it cost money to sign up for this? Do you know if you need to meet certain requirements? As I said, I only seen 1 site with this.

And not everyone can use it, if your line blocks 1-800 numbers or any other type of number that requires money to call, then you can't use it.

So, if that phone would be in, say, Germany, would you need to pay both international call rate to your telephone provider and the price of the call?

Not all countries are able to use this type of paymentk. I don't know how it works out.

The idea would be nice... yet it won't work "over the ocean".

I would have to make an account with a firm over there (and they want some fees, and the money is then *still* in America and not in Germany... I still have the problem how to get it over here).

Also... perhaps you haven't noticed as you live in the US, but with these Dial-Services here have been countless lawsuits from parents whose kids spent hundreds of Euro talking to some hotlines... and this is also what I am afraid of ^^
also if you have "say how many you want to donate and it gets subtracted from your phone bill" ... who guarantees that only the owner of the contract with the phone company donates? what if his friend visits, dials the number and says "want 500 bucks in there"...

I sense much more hassle than benefit :(

(that's what I like at paypal, you need a credit card for it, the money is here in seconds and I stil can refund without costs if there are problems... and it is safe as nobody except you knows your password).

True...but the visa rolled out a lot of donators because this is a game & most of the players are just kids & some just don't own a visa XD (even my parents doesn't have one)

In the end, this topic leads to two words, "Too Bad"

true.
the only way: some players come together, and give *the guy with the paypal account* among them the money to transfer it.

As I am not there I can't guarantee for the trustworthyness, but this might be an option... send money to a trustworthy person and he transfers it via paypal, and we can talk about the rest.

Well most people should know how to use postal mail if you're a kid  :D. I wanted to donate and my parents never found out. All they were asked was how to write a letter to the US and to foreign countries and how much in stamps it cost.

I think it's also good idea to send thru Western Union...and just get the verification code and get it  :roll:

erm, well, as far as I know, I would need to go to a Western Union Station, which is about 30 km away from me...

not a good idea.

sign up at paypal.... it's easy & the fees are OK for me (they earn quite a bunch though)

it's 18.75 miles for americans  :twisted: which is about a 20 minute drive. Not a good idea to drive 20 minutes for one of many donation which aren't more than 20 bucks
