Basically, you can say that we all have a SMS in our pocket and what would be the best paying method then the one that everyone already have. In addition, SMS is sufficiently anonymous and leaves the user enough possibilities to draw back.
Why did you decide to use SMS- services in your web business?
Bidnet.lv auction model is taken over from our Estonian partner sendioksjon.ee, where this was a trial version that became very successful. Participating with SMS is a part of this idea.

SMS- service expands our circle of clients offering opportunity to participate even for those who do not have Internet bank account or haven’t registered themselves as a user. The main principle, in that case, could be: participate today, pay later.
