Hi @bitpaint ,
thanks for the suggestion, I was looking into this payment method in the list and was very surprise not to find it when I see the huge list already implemented. It has some limits but it's perfect for new Bitcoin user that want to step in quickly and without additional KYC. Unfortunately I'm not a dev so I cannot help much to implement it but it should be quite easy as the only information needed to send money is a mobile phone number.
I strongly support this proposal and hope someone can work on it eventually.
