The Great British pound, biting it's loyal citizens on the arse yet again... Sucks to live in this country I tell you :illgetu:
Sadly Night, this is a price you have to pay if you can only donate via text, it's shitty I know, but we're all at the mercy of currency values :(
You could look at it from an alternate angle though, which is that Mennies are cheaper for Brits at £1.50 than they are for Americans are $2.50, even if UK people end up losing a bit of the full amount of Mennies. Look at that as their travelling expenses to get to England, maybe? Actually no, look at it as TAX! Go complain to Gordon Brown and demand a refund >_>
Do you have enough funds/credit to buy more Mennies so you have enough for the item you wanted? The spare Mennies won't go anywhere, they'll sit patiently on your account waiting to pad out your next purchase :)
SMS payments aren't really the boon for UK users that they are for those in other countries with a weaker currency though, if you want to/have the means to set up a Paypal account and transfer directly from your bank account then you won't end up losing out like you do via mobile payments.
