are you certain that they aren't figuring in costs and billing you for $10+rates? while that would mean the end customer pays more, it does mean they would be getting more than a paypal donation.
- patio11 17y agoWell, think that one through: if your advertisement says "Text 12345 to 45678 to donate $10 to the Red Cross", and you do so, and then your itemized cellphone bill says "Red Cross: $20", what is your reaction likely to be? Merchants foot the bill for transaction costs to encourage transaction volume. It is the same reason I quote my prices as $29.95 not "$29.95 plus whatever your credit card costs me to process."
- noodle 17y agoi've already seen a non-red cross ad for the exact same thing, except $5 for hati, and the ad specifically stated transaction and standard data rates are added on top. looking for the ad now. edit: http://twitter.com/RedCross/status/7720590281 http://twitter.com/RedCross/status/7720590281 edit2: beatten
- john_conroy 17y agoThe only transaction and data rates are your sms send/receive costs. You send 2 SMS's and they send you 2 SMS's in total.
