I don’t think MY readers would pay for it, but it seems like it would work with a model that was already on a pay system.

The content has to be really good and valuable to get anyone to pay, besides there are other alternatives available which you can use for free so I guess this kind of monetization would have a very limited use unless you have a great idea to make it work.

many of these companies make someone pay along the way. usually something like the receiver getting chrged ends up happening. Ive been using peekamo.com and its pretty safe , free and i dont get spam.

Text messages are huge in many parts of Asia and there are a lot of companies that offer similar services for free. I don’t think anyone would be willing to pay for it unless the information was really time sensitive.

Modern phones come with RSS capability which is free (other than minute data charges) to use.

I agree with Christer Edwards, on the consumer end, those messages can get very very annoying…

Quite interesting, then again why would I subscribe to a blog on my mobile phone for a fee when I could subscribe and access it via my laptop or desktop with only my internet bill to worry about?

It seems you need to have a mobile phone number yourself to register. So this does mean that it available only to US Publishers?

1. I will never pay for it not because it costs money but because it brings too much interruption and distraction to my life. Internet, emails, cell phones… are enough, I guess.
2. Well, if I’m a trader, I probably want up-to-date information related to my biz quick.

You can get this for free. I wish I could remember the source, but there is a free alternative to this.

With stuff like r-mail.org you can easily pipe RSS to any email-to-text gateway for free.

I use ZapTXT on my site, and my users can get free SMS messages for the entire site, certain keywords, or comments for just one article.

Why make them pay, when they can have that feature for free?

While it’s nice to be able to monetize, that’s an awful costly fee in my opinion, and doesn’t add much value to the reader considering the alternatives available.
