I was wondering if anyone has had any experience selling games on SMS.ac?
It's a social network and web games are sold on a subsription basis. You can set the price from $1 USD to $5 USD per month. The developer gets 30%. Subscribers are billed on their phone bill.
You must host the game yourself. SMS.ac users can visit other user's homepages. If someone visits the homepage of a user that has subscribed to your game a "public" request will be sent to your server. You can present a "public" version of your game. This could be as small as a splash page.
The developer foots the bill for the bandwidth. Does anyone have any experience with them? I've heard the bandwidth could be considerable as on a social network they spend a lot of time visiting each others pages.
Thanks for any input here :)
