Bye bye membership SMS pins

[Surround Sound]

They are not removing the option of SMS pins, they are changing the carrier. It used to be Surfpin, now it's Paymo. The difference is that Paymo will send a verification message which will stop online fraud in chat rooms etc.

Despite what many people are claiming, Sythe pin prices will not be affected by this. Although there are a few UK SMS pins out there, the majority on Sythe are Australian PBP. They are not removing these. This is because they are obtained via pinlines by a select few and circulated throughout all the black-markets.

Pin lines will get closed soon and Jagex will make Paymo option for Australia and will close Australia sms option and maybe phone one.

surfpin always sent me verifications.

 

[Surround Sound]

surfpin always sent me verifications.

Really? What country are you in?

 

[WeRnIE]

It is for some providers.

 

[Skele]

Skelemasters getting too much profit from them so they want to ruin his business dey don't like it.

I don't sell SMS pins

 

[Rawr]

It's probably to put a halt to pin sales, or because it's not as popular as the other methods of selling pins (IE cards, land lines, etc.)

Pin sales are mostly Aus PBP, I don't think it's going to effect the pin market at all so I don't think it will make a difference in their sales.

 

[WeRnIE]

Pin lines won't last forever.

 

[Redkip]

I don't think this is a smart move from jagex seeing as most pins come from SMS.

 

[WeRnIE]

But this will complete pins fraud for sure.

 

[jennyfer11122]

well i hope they don't ruin sms payment cose i always buy pins from internet and i don't even have any other method. Hope australia will stay.

 

[Stig]

Nice fail Jagex!

 

[Eric L.]

Most of the reasons here listed are valid and contain my opinions as well.

 

[WeRnIE]

Australia sms method won't stay for sure.

 

[H U S T L A]

Isn't that why they added Paymo?
To be honest, I like SMS better than Paymo but now I can actually buy pins with Paymo since it supports T-mobile.

 

[WeRnIE]

It supports Verizon, surfpin do not support Verizon.

 

[нαχ]

Omg, fagex is gonna make our pins price much higher.

 

[Siinep]

So howcome if you still text hd to 64337 you get a message saying the usual message to get membership? Because I just tried it and it comes up with the usual message, it just doesnt say what to text when you're under sms pins option

 

[WeRnIE]

Don't ask us.

 

[Determinate]

Wow. I wonder why Jagex would do this? I thought they were trying to expand the number of ways people were able to obtain membership- Not decrease them.

^ this.

How does removing the SMS pin for a bunch of countries broaden their sales?
