I think it would be nice if we could order a GoodyBag or apply credit via text
I'll explain scenario, today i wanted the £5/month GoodyBag but really did not want to log on to my laptop [cos its sooo slow], so could have just texted "£5 Goodybag" to a GG phone number, [if your credit card details are saved online] they then in a text back ask me to confirm what i am buying and then apply the respective goodybag/credit to my account. Then if i wanted credit i could have texted "£5 credit".
Just an idea, leave your comments or if you like it Kudos the idea
please note: i added the "apply credit" idea from the response from 'geekonthepc'. So many thanks to him/her
It is felt that this is a highly complex Idea to implement, from both a technology viewpoint and also getting the experience right for members. For example, would we allow management of queueing and recurring goodybags via this method, and how would it work if we did? While we're not opposed to the Idea, we're hesitant to begin work on it without first fully understanding the reasons the community wants it and the full extent of the technological implementation (including how it will mesh with existing systems). This will allow us to confirm whether the benefits of developing this Idea will outweigh the costs and time involved with getting it right. We would therefore like to start a discussion on this idea in the Contribute in the near future and get as much community feedback and discussion on the idea as we can.
Hi all, this 'accepted status' is two-fold. 1) We are looking into the ability to top up via text (with a registered card). But it would only be topping up money, not a goodybag. 2) Should we have implemented text top up, the goodybag itself could then be 'purchased' with the credit you've just topped up via text, by going into an IVR (press 1 to do....) and changing your credit to a goodybag.
IVR stand for Interactive Voice Response. Basically it means you get an automated phone system which says, press 1 to top up with a voucher code, press two to top up with a credit card, etc. etc. etc.
great idea would certainly help out loads to be able to call n buy a goodybag or even send a txt from your mobile would make it alot simpler and easier rather than coming online
