Those late night television ads advertising sex talk over SMS has me
curious.
Anybody know how they work?
ie. How do they charge more than the standard SMS charge ?
Is it a real person you converse with?
What sort of things do they say?
And before anybody tells me to try it myself, nah I'm too scared :-)

They would be based on premium SMS.

Same as whoever is providing the service for the 1900 and 1902 phone
services set the price, the providers for the 188 SMS services also
set the prices.
Those sex SMS things are pretty crap.

I think they charge something like $3.95 per message, read the fine print
on bottom of screen, if you can take your eyes off the slut advertising it!

Nearly as bad as the joke-a-day ones at about $2 or something similar
per sms...

They would be completely automated... evidenced by some services having one
number but a different code word for each type of message.
Also, i assume it would be the same with other sms services... you text a
codeword to a number and get a reply in ten seconds flat - no time to
physically tap it in.
Seems lucrative, i could set up one of these for perhaps a couple hundred
dollars and voila, five bucks a message comes rolling in

even if they would type it'd be done using a computer.

But the initial fee for offering premium SMS is usually something high like
$20,000 - I guess it's really profitable!

You'd be better off using the money to play Ming Mong.
I want to go up against that Ming Mong veteran.

What do you mean "say"? They don't say anything. they type on a computer I'm
sure. For all you know it's a bloke.

I haven't tried it and wouldn't either.

If you are a sex maniac and want to pay for it you would be better off going
to a brothel than paying for SMS messages to get your rocks off over.

Now this is true. But I can't see any reason to pay for what is given to me.

It's only called 'sex' if there's someone else in the room with you. Flying
solo doesn't count.
