Default Shoutbox
If you look on the forum homepage you will see a mobile phone shoutbox that's been added.

Feel free to use it, but please read the TERMS on it before doing it... it will charge you 50p

There's some other phone updates soon being added, so watch this space.

I think it's an extremely pointless addition.

It's also a complete waste of money to text in considering anyone can post any message they like in the forum below - which will appear instantly - for nothing.

I hope TiBB gets some kind of profit out of the shoutbox? If so, good addition! If not... why not?

Yeah, but they get deleted from as soon as your message appears on the shoutbox. If you click TERMS it says that we don't sell/post your number... only the last 3 digits

Stupid money making scheme - even BBLB and Big Mouth charge no more than 12p a message.

On the plus side though, really like the new Celeb BB theme - which makes a change.

I'd say theres 75% chance I LOSE money from it. Heavy costs to use that number, and the fact networks take a huge chunk for every message. I did originally set it up at 25p, but that meant for every person txting in I lost money.

Like I said before, if you don't like it don't use it. It's only a bit of fun

If Mark was making money from it then it would probably help to pay towards the running costs of the website.
