Hi,

this is very much depending on the operator and country. Here in
germany for example for Vodafone you can set up that the MO SMS is
initally free and the money is just "reservered".  It can the be
charged over a seperate xml-interface after the transaction is
finished. But E-Plus (KPN Germany) charges the MO directly no matter
if the transaction was successful. In swiss for example MO-Billing is
completly forbidden, there you can only do MT-Billing.
So best ask the operator if they offer a 2-phase-billing (also called
online-billing or mobile-pay).

Regards
Falko
