Guest c0ntrite Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 (edited) an extension would be nice :D I would love to be a member now but I don't have a credit card :D I can use my parents' cc but I still need to pay them back with the previous transaction I've made. How about a two week extension? ;) or... a month? ;) But sadly if I don't make it in time I couldn't afford to be a member anymore... :D Edited June 4, 2005 by c0ntrite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asphire23 Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 I don't get it. How could someone who afford to buy a smartphone then doesn't want to purchase a service that is cost way less than it's value, at 1/10th of a smartphone's price. I didn't know there was a plus membership until Paul announced it on the frontpage. I subscribed in a heartbeat ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spvdk Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 (edited) ,Jun 3 2005, 09:21]It seems I mistakenly assumed everyone who wanted to support the site would want all the super-cool Plus stuff. Would a lowered tiered Plus option, maybe that did something like just removing the ads, be popular? Or should I just add a 'donate' button? Both options sounds nice. You don't need to offer much, to get donations from friendly users. On my-symbian you can buy software through Paypal. You can also 'buy' support through the same channels for $10. When you do, you get to download a jpg with 'thanks for supporting this site'. Also your avatar is updated with 'Site supporter' and golden coins, where the activity-stars used to be. That way my-symbian shows they appreciate the support, and it doesn't them cost anything. Personally, I like the my-symbian way. It's quick and easy (important) and you don't have to pay for services, you may not have any use for. You simply support a site you like and you get to decide the amount yourself. If $10 is not enough for you, just 'buy' another support jpg ;) I don't get it. How could someone who afford to buy a smartphone then doesn't want to purchase a service that is cost way less than it's value, at 1/10th of a smartphone's price. That is your point of view. Obviously not everyone agrees, or this sites founder would be a very rich man by now :D As I stated earlier, most of us visit more sites than this single one. So while you may support this one, I guarantee that someone else in here support other sites, that you visit without paying for. That's just the way it is, and the way it should be. Together we keep a LOT of great sites going ;) Edited June 4, 2005 by spvdk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm all for supporting the site (I've supported other WM Smartphone sites), but as you stated, all that super-cool stuff isn't necessary for me to invest money with the site. I've stated this in other threads recently too, maybe you've read them. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rameses Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 I've finally signed up after lurking around here for almost a year. The stuff I've picked up from this site has been invaluable, so £2 a month to support it doesn't seem too bad at all. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dazza12 Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 (edited) I do have a problem signing up Paul. I've got a Paypal account, but I logged in a couple of days ago and I've got one of those non-appealable restrictions on my account. Paypal won't tell me why, there's no chargebacks or anything on the account, but it has been used in the past to buy stuff off of eBay. Do you offer alternative methods of payment, such as the far superior Nochex or Natwest Fastpay? They work in a similar way to Paypal, but neither seem to be as sneaky as Paypal (Google about Paypal problems for an idea of the issues with them). As it is, I can't sign up - although I've got the money, a debit card and really want to sign up! Edited June 6, 2005 by dazza12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Paul [MVP] Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 I have decided that the new cost of 'MoDaCo Plus' will be £34.99, and will take effect this Friday (10th June). In addition, 'MoDaCo AdFree' will be launching at the same time, priced at £7.99. It will offer a lower donation tier for those that wish to support the site, but with the only benefit of ad removal. I hope this sounds OK to everyone ;) P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest magic_peanuts Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 (edited) That'd be me then - I've been debating it for a while, just signed up now -Raz Same here, been reading the site for ages.

Guest tsutton Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 In addition, 'MoDaCo AdFree' will be launching at the same time, priced at £7.99. That's a very reasonabled priced! Well worth it. I assume it's a year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dazza12 Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 Any alternatives for people in my situation Paul? For instance, cheque payment or money transfer? Or even Nochex?

Guest Paul [MVP] Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 Yes, a year. I'll be adding NoChex shortly... P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
