] Hello All.
We've just launched our latest premium rate service website. Offering Psychic services via phone lines, SMS and credit card.
What does anyone think? Is anyone interested in setting up a Psychic or other premium rate site and reselling our services?

Many thanks

Hi, Michelle
Do you want feedback on the ethics of selling “services” such as these, or just feedback on the site in general?
Regards

Hi John,
Just general feedback on the site please, although I would be interested to hear people's views on selling these services as it's our most popular service at the moment.
Thanks
Michelle

the site design is very good and looks easy to use. my personal opinion is that it tries too hard to sell but that will vary from person to person
as for a question of morals. im a great believer that if you dont want it or are offended by it dont look at it or use it.
Everyone has that choice and as long as nobody is being harmed then i dont see why people get so upset about things

Like the scheme you have used on the site - good layout and easy to use. As for the morality of it then I have to agree with the last comment - don't look if you don't like - and well - if people have more money than sense well fare enough! After all there are many sucessfull businesses who do not act in the most moral of manners...

Hi Guys,
Thanks for your comments, I'm currently looking at ways to make it less sales and more of a psychic portal with free stuff for users as well.

Ethically I think these types of 'service' are a disgrace - just my opinion of course, site looks good.

Too many ideas, so little time...!

Well, I for one love the design :-) Very funky and fresh and different for this type of business - may just attract the younger people because of this (although I don't think it would put off older people) and perhaps appeal to a wider audience.
Ethics - who is to say that these services are fake/charlitan ........;-))

No. I am not interested in selling psychic things because I don't believe in such.
Anyway, I am on the lookout to sell some services via premium rate numbers, though.
Can you suggest some good ideas that will make my phone start rining and hardly ever stopping ?

Hello,
Can you drop me an email at michelle.hughes@operatelecom.com with the type of thing you're looking for, a ready made service, a premium rate number (where you answer the calls) and I'll send you the appropriate details.
Kind regards
Michelle

Opera,
All I have in mind is to run some unique services where people will call me day in day out and I will make money from the incoming calls.
What services to run, I don't know yet.
I am still on the look-out for unique ideas.
I am still trying to think of some good ideas.
I need people to give me ideas.
If I had the ideas by now, I would have started the premium call services straight-away.
I have checked your competitor websites and they have many ready-made packages but they have sold these packages to thousands. In another words, these services are duplicated by thousands and so I don't think I will stand-out from the crowd if I run the same services.

Hi Decider,
I take your point, you do need to have a good marketing plan in order to make ready made services make your lots of money but it can be done.
If you come up with an idea where people will call a premium rate line day in day out ... I;d like to jump on the band wagon!!
Good luck, let me know if I can be assistance.
