wasnt sure where to post this


hey i always wanted to play in the main arena but not having a credit card kinda stops me then

so i thought i'd suggest another possible payment method if ur interested to research in it, this would help others aswell as just me.

so i thought Why Not be able to pay to pay to use the Main Arena's using your mobile phone, i few sites use this method and it works great.

payments methods of like:

1 day access price whatever u want to charge

1 mont of ur $14.** cost

was just a thought (no one flame me please)

I always wondered how those outside of North America could pay if they don't use a CC.  I guess mail is a bit of a lottery at that distance.

One of the problems effecting teenagers in the UK is that banks are cutting back on credit cards to such folk and issuing instead Visa and Mastercard debit cards.

If you do not wish to use a credit card most UK banks will issue visa or mastercard debit cards with even a limited  credit history.

This is Ok but the trend with these debit cards is to charge for foriegn currency transactions usually at £1 for purchases and £2 for cash drawn in foriegn currency.

One supply side solution is  for the supplier to open a "multi currency account".........

Actually this is a form of account window into several foriegn currency accounts. Not all banks in the UK do this so I do not know what Dallas banks can offer.

Payment would then be by a form of direct debit from the customers account varying with exchange rate but deducted in the customers own currency.

However this too carries costs and the supplier would have to maintain a forward exchange rate policy which would lead to further increased charges from the supply side.

However all of these would be cheaper than using payment via a Mob  account which IMO would be punitive in comparison.

Prepay has always been an option for AH.

Check, money order, etc can do one month at a time or a larger sum if you like.

I'm sure if you call or email HTC something can be worked out. Not sure if they are setup to deal with paypal or other options.
