Once you enter your phone number and e-mail address, you will get a confirmation page. If you proceed, you will recieve a text message informing you of the requested transaction. It says to respond with "Y" in the message, and what to do if that doesn't work (send a manual reply). I had to do the manual reply. All the while, the website tells you what the status of the transaction is. Once your response is received, you will receive 2 more messages. These are where the transactions actually occur. I'm not sure why they're separate, but one is for $9.99 and the other is for $1.

You'll receive a password at the e-mail address you entered earlier. Enter this and the Turing number to get your CMPass pin and order number. I had trouble with the Turing number a couple times (I think 1s look like ls or something). Once you have these, you can go back to mp3sparks and get your $10 credit.

I may attempt to figure out if one of the other options works. Since I'm gonna want to charge my account up several more times, I'd rather not get dinged for 4 messages each time.

I tried this option and everything seemed to work as above but I haven't received an email with the password as promised. It has been several hours - is it typical to take that long?

Just to clarify, I used the SMS option funded by mobillcash through txtnation. The transaction is showing as completed on the mobillcash site but I have received no password to use with cmpass. I have emailed mobillcash support as a starting point. I have proof the payment was made so figure things will eventually work out. Glad to have this payment option as it was easy to use.

Sorry to hear that you guys are having trouble. I haven't had a chance to try it since my first time - my balance is low on my cell phone. I'm wondering if any transactions are working or if it is just hit or miss? I still plan on trying it again once I recharge my account. I'll let you know my details when I do.

I was just able to add $10 to my AllTunes account by using MobillCash (through txtNation, then to CMPass). Gave CMPass info to AllTunes and it worked. Transaction was pretty straightforward, if a little wierd (two txt messages to my cell phone).

Hi lumpster, and welcome to the forum
Great to hear you were able to fund your account

Hey Lumpster,

I went to MobillCash looked at the sign up page and it looked like it was for business owners/vendors. If you signed up with them, what did you do next?

Just to clarify what you did.

1. did something through MobillCash
2. went to txtnation site and did something there
3. went to CMpass site and did something there
4. went to alltunes site?

All of this refilling seems complicated. I love alltunes but it's starting to be a pain!

Hi Gus, starting to be a pain . Where have you been living; it's been a pain in the butt for at least 18 months now

I received my password and was able to fund my account! I don't understand why I didn't receive the password immediatel but Mobillcash support was very helpful.

It is definitely a multi-step process. Here is the way it worked for me (I'm in US):

1. start with cmpass
2. select the "buy cmpass with txtnation" option 3. select get SMS password for $10 cmpass
4. select Pay by SMS (Mobile / Cell Phone)
5 select mobillcash under preferred provider
6. enter email address as prompted and select pay
7. mobillcash will prompt you for cell phone #
8. you receive a text message prompting you for a "Y" to accept transaction.
9. You receive two more texts giving you a chance to stop the transaction.
10. mobillcash site confirms that the transaction is complete and merchant (txtnation) has been informed.

The mobillcash site activity occurs very quickly - you see the site acknowledge your response immediately. I was disappointed when I didn't get the password immediately. I'm not sure where the problem was but I got the password from txtnation after contacting mobillcash support.

11. Enter the password and turing code at cmpass
12. go to "orders" page to get your pin code and claim id #s
13. plug the numbers into sparks or the alltunes web-based billing page.
14. buy music!

Thanks, POG, for this VERY useful step by step guide to the use of CMPASS with txtNation
