smsActivation plugin

[Rea Williams]

Hello,

I would like to review a new plug-in from Flynax (smsActivation)
It's a great option to avoid lot's of Scam & Spam on your website by using this plugin. But, I would like to mention a little cons that involve services with high prices for USA webmasters. In order to use this plugin you must to sign up with "Clickttel" which is prepaid bulk sms service (it's normal). After you sign-up and make your deposit, you will be able to use "smsActivation" plugin.

For USA webmasters only!:
in order to deliver sms messages to USA cell phone numbers, you must sign-up also for "US Dedicated Short Code (DCS)" (required from US Government).

Cons:
- Set-up fee for DCS: $1,700.00 USD
- And monthly fee for DCS: $900.00 - $1,400.00 USD

Basically it became unaffordable for probably most of US webmasters, because of the high rates. So, in this case I find out an alternative:
What if, "Flynax Team" will add an additional option such as "Phone Verification" (PV) instead of SMS. PV system (process) will make a phone call with activation code.
I also found a most cheaper company that provided such service: http://www.onverify.com/phone-verification-features
(you must to sign-in in order to obtain a php code from http://www.onverify.com)

This function is also beneficial to European webmasters , because their users can activate accounts from their home phone (landlines).

I hope all other Flynax users will vote for this changes, and Flynax Team will take this point into process for all users.

Thank you

Are you sure it cost that much?
I just check and it says no monthly or any extra cost
Only 1.3 cent per message sent, which is not bad

Hi guys!

Nice plugin. Everything is fine except one thing:
If user registers with quick register while posting an ad, there is no option to enter mobile for user.
So when he enters details for registration in quid register form the next page tells that this page is not available without activation.
But user have already entered all details of an ad.

So what to do?
It makes useless because we can't deny user to post an ad without activation. Either we have to disable quick registration. But it is s such useful option.

Please give some advice!
