Josh and I have made the tickets look good with iPhone, Android and Palm but haven't had a chance to test other phones. We would love to hear how other phones display our tickets. All you have to do is go here http://example.mogotix.com select the number of tickets you want and then fill out the form to receive a mobile ticket.

We promise not to drunk dial you.

Thanks for the feedback.

I just got a little outline of a box with a message trying to convince me that "this is my ticket." If you want to know more, my emails in my profile. I'd love to offer up some overall feedback. Overall, I love the concept.

I clicked the link and tried applying a discount coupon (even though it was free...) and it just sat there.

Interesting. It just sat there after I filled out my info and clicked 'purchase' too. I'm in chrome.

I love how you have your logo incorporated in the 2d barcode.

It is interesting that you use bit.ly to shorten the lengths of the urls to tickets, I had assumed that all generated shortened urls in bit.ly were searchable by a random user but that doesn't seem to be the case.

How do tickets arrive in phones? Actual barcode/graphic stills or how about text strings? Can the latter be scanned as well?

We send a SMS with a link. You can try it out here: http://example.mogotix.com

Ok to send the ticket outside the US, what countries do you support? the number to be entered in the form should be "++ [country code] number" right? If the tickets are not delivered to the phone, does the user get an email saying so, or even just having the form provide a status report straight away.

Actually we only work in the US right now. We were using clickatell but they are going through a huge audit right now. As soon as clickatell gets their act together we will support other countries. Shoot us a email and I will let you know when we have it working again.

This is really interesting, I might be able to use mogotix as an adjunct to the startup we're building at the moment.

Great. We would love to talk, anytime.
