Reverse Billing

The idea was simple: Take an mptrip, go visit Jerusalem or Mount Carmel or Metzada. Where-ever. In the end of the tour, we offer you to leave us a 'tip' by sending an SMS with the amount you wish to donate to mptrips.com. Donate only if you enjoyed your trip. 100% of your donation goes to our group of dedicated tour guides - in order to fund production of more mptrips - for your enjoyment. Simple, clean, convenient. They even gave a nice name to it - "Reverse Billing". There are even companies that take care of everything. Really nice. The only problem is that only 35%-39% of your donation actually gets to us, after the cellular companies take most of it, and then the billing company some. Don't get me wrong, I think they deserve a decent payment, but compared to other places in the world, it does sound a bit high to me. I guess that with time we'll get to the rates that the credit card companies charge (~4%?), but until it'll get to be at least close to this - we'll have to look for other solutions.
