Does anyone have any other contact info for them than what's on their site and whois?

Feel for you and sorry you are in the UK when it comes to the whole check costs issues and of course the wire fee's from trusted 3rd party processors like ccbill and such.

This is just a major concern and often thought about issue when it comes to promoting sites that handle their own payroll and run via Nats or any other 3rd party non billing system like MPA etc. Companies are folding this year faster than they went up in the solo site boom of the past two years.

Thanks for the reply.

And...

Dammit!

Damm I used to promote smsmovies, did not even know they were not paying out. In the little time I have been in the adult biz so many sponsors have folded and end up not paying webmasters their money. Seems like adult is a throw away biz sometimes :(

i try to remember who was praising them to me as the future of the porn business...

Tasty1 11-03-2009 01:47 PM

I just received a payment on octobre 7. In may they didn't pay, and the folowing month they paid for 2 months. But they always do that cause they are on holiday then. There were problems with security, check your account details if nothing changed. i expect the next payment next week.

Most likely a sales person or the owner :1orglaugh

Tasty1 11-03-2009 01:57 PM

I made good money with them, much better than the dutch 0,80 cents/per minute or subscription sites. Works perfect in europe. But the best days are over, just like most paysites.

jonnax 11-05-2009 04:29 PM

I have been paid but payments have been late 2 times in this year..
Last month i received 2 wires from them..

Tasty1 11-05-2009 05:33 PM

I hope they will start investing, it was a great programm. But is stays the same and sales go down.

Tasty1 11-08-2009 07:07 AM

Got my payment today :) So they are still in business.

I won a Xbox360 last year, nice price :)

fatfoo 11-08-2009 01:06 PM

I guess it is out of business.

Thanks Jack :) I didn't see i already have so many post.


PS, If you are looking for other sms movies, look at the dvdstore whitelabel from www.spacash.com

mr david 11-24-2009 04:27 AM

Stats with smsmovies seem more or less dead as of November, anyone else having this problem?

Tasty1 11-24-2009 06:02 AM

I just checked, and my stats work. The 'euro' sign isn't displayed right i see.
My last sales are made today.

I have mailed the webmaster of smsadult that there is a discussion going on about their programm. Maybe they can give a reaction.

Zamiboy 03-18-2010 12:11 PM

Now it look like they are totally dead. No reply to support tickets or emails and payment is late. Anyone still promoting them and having same issues? I'm really worriend about this because they still are my best sponsor...

Tasty1 03-18-2010 02:16 PM

I checked, last payment was february 17, 2010.
I expect the next payment this/next week.

Pandoras 03-18-2010 05:01 PM

I hope everything will be solved boys

Zamiboy 03-21-2010 09:38 AM

Airholland, why do you expect to get paid this late?
Maybe i have missed something as i expect to get paid before 15'th day of month.
See, i have been promoting them since 2004 and that's last time i have read their rules. Maybe the rules have changed since then.

Tasty1 03-21-2010 11:48 AM

I promote them since 2005. Never had any problems. I noticed they payment sometimes arrive a few days earlier or later. But i don't care about a few days, if it is there at the end of the month it is ok. Most of the time when something goes wrong with a payment i notice that after 3 months when i do bookkeeping for VAT. When a payments is a few days late, that can happen. Maybe he has holiday or something. Some people get in panic of there is a 1 day delay.

And if they are out of business, that could happen to. The best times for smsmovies are over, they didn't improve anything the last years. I made my own sms payment site as alternative.

I also use this for sms movies: http://tinyurl.com/yho69rn whitelabel from http://www.spacash.com/?id=film
Much better and frequently updated, people can download the movie to own.

Thats weird stuff, whats so hard about a wire payment?
2 months is a little to much

jonnax 03-29-2010 09:33 AM

Anyone received this month payments?

DVTimes 03-29-2010 09:53 AM

good luck

Tasty1 03-29-2010 10:25 AM

mm, they are very late now.

maybe i have to find some new sms movies sponsors.

I use also:
http://www.cashdepartment.com/?wm_refer=113

Zamiboy 03-29-2010 12:14 PM

Very very late indeed. Still waiting to get paid.

I have been using cashdepartment too, but just can't get much out of it.

Tasty1 03-29-2010 01:22 PM

Zamiboy, sms movies also works better than cashdepartment i noticed.
Do you have alternatives? I also have scandinavian domains with smsmovies.

jonnax 03-29-2010 07:09 PM

Well now it says in adminarea that 2010-03-30 payment has been processed..:)
Sad that there are no alternatives with similar setup..

I just checked and yeah, it's here.

Zamiboy 03-29-2010 09:22 PM

Yeah, now payments are processed. Lets see if money will show up. Hope so.

Unfortunately i don't know real alternatives, so i hope smsmovies would improve a bit.

Zamiboy 03-30-2010 08:59 AM

Got the money too. :-)

Tasty1 03-30-2010 09:28 AM

I think i will receive the payment soon.
We will never know why it was late, i think they went on vacation.
I hope they will put more time in their system and update it.

Zamiboy 04-10-2010 09:26 AM

Hope everybody got their money. Wondering how long it takes to pay this month...

Tasty1 04-10-2010 09:35 AM

I haven't had the money for last month...
The system shows that the transaction was processed.

Mailed them, support ticket, no reaction

If there is no payment i stop promoting in 2-3 weeks.

Tasty1 04-13-2010 06:33 AM

Just got the payment for the last month. Maybe my bank hold it for 2 weeks?

Zamiboy 04-13-2010 10:06 AM

That worries me most. Total lack of communication. Some emails even bounced back.

I see foreign wire transfers on my account few days earlier than i actuall get them. I don't think european banks could hold money for weeks, just few days max.

Before i was receiving payments by wire from smsmovies but i noticed epassporte is faster. Not too big difference on fees...

swea 04-14-2010 02:35 PM

The guys behind free6/smsmovies have had some trouble with the Swedish Tax Authorities. The authories claims 50 millions Swedish crowns, about 5 million Euros, in unpaid taxes.

I watched a clip on swedish tv when they interview the man from the authories leading the investigation and a fun thing is that they are not sure from what country the are running the smsmovies site now, because it is still running as usual:-)

So this might explain why they can be hard to get in touch with.

latest article in a swedish newspaper about it: dn. se/ekonomi/mangmiljonkrav-mot-porrforetag-1.1050952 (swedish only)

Screwed Up 04-14-2010 03:50 PM

I didn't realize this thread has been bumped so many times.
I still haven't been paid out for about a year now. Send another few emails and a support ticket. We'll see what happens.

thanks for the bumps
