Best Cam Sites To Pay Via Your Phone
Almost all the major cam sites accept credit cards, debit cards, PayPal and even cryptocurrencies as a form of payment. Some let you trade in a brand name / store gift cards for site currency. Others let you make a wire transfer, and a few even go as old-school as mail-in checks. But very few will let you pay via your mobile phone.
Both of the leading cam sites listed below are phone payment friendly. So, if you want to buy site credits or tokens, but don't want to give any financial info out online and don't want to wait the week or two it takes to process a mail-in check or wire transfer, these top 2 live cam sites have a payment option that could just be your perfect solution.
Unfortunately, paying by phone isn't a global option at the sites. LiveJasmin only offers the feature for those located in one of fifteen European countries. Stripchat is even more restrictive, only accepting payment via phone from a handful of countries in Europe.
How to pay over the phone
Paying over the phone isn't a commonly used payment method and at both sites, you'll have to manually select it.
At LiveJasmin, once you're logged in as a registered member, you have to select the Get Credits link on the homepage and then in the box of credit packages that pops-up, there's a small link at the bottom for Payment Methods. Click on this link and additional payment options appear including Pay By Phone. Depending on which country you're in, either one or a select choice of payment carrier methods are provided. You choose whichever you prefer and then the amount you'd like to spend on site credits. Next step is to simply enter your mobile phone number and click the buy button and the value is then charged to your mobile phone carrier account.
It's quick and easy, however you'll only get an option to purchase a limited number of LiveJasmin credits. So, be aware it's a process you may find yourself repeating over and over in order to have enough credits in your cam account to cover a private cam chat session that lasts more than 10 minutes or so.
At Stripchat, you sign into the site and then click on the small green circle on the top right of the homepage and select the Charge to Mobile option in the payment page. Like LiveJasmin, the options of the tokens package available to those paying via their mobile is limited and cost more per token compared to other payment options such as credit card, PayPal or Bitcoin. You then enter your mobile number and complete the process.
How To keep Your Online Info Secure
One of the main reasons people are prepared to pay a premium to buy credits or tokens via their phone is the need to keep their financial data offline. However, this isn't always an option with many websites only accepting credit cards. If you do decide it's not worth paying the more expensive price per credit/token compared to the rates offered to credit card fueled purchases, there are a few things you can do to make sure your details are kept secured and safe.
Both LiveJasmin and Stripchat are verified as using TLS (Transport Layer Security). This means all info is encrypted before being transmitted across the internet, protecting your identity and data. Always check that a site has a small closed lock at the start of the address in the URL bar. This signifies it's using either TLS or SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) to safeguard all info.
Another little heads-up is to check that the site address starts with HTTPS and not just HTTP. HTTP stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol - the S simply stands for Secure.
If you're accessing the sites from Europe, you can also pay using a prepaid Paysafe card, which circumvents the need to give any personal financial to the platform. If you're accessing them from the U.S., you can use a brand name / store gift card and trade in the dollar value of the card for the equivalent amount in credits or token. Both methods ensure total privacy, discretion and mean that you don't have to give any personal or financial data out.
What Each Cam Site Offers
LiveJasmin is a premium site, whereas Stripchat is a freemium one. At a premium site, all the models are vetted by the cam platform prior to being allowed to perform on the site. At a freemium live cam destination, anyone can establish a presence on the platform and start streaming both free and private shows.
The other main difference is that at premium sites, the models must remain clothed (albeit in the flimsiest of underwear) and not perform any non-PG acts in their open chat rooms. It's all strictly (or should be) pay for play. At the freemium sites, they can take it all off and basically do what they want in their public rooms, with viewers tips fueling the action.
Both sites feature a wide array of cam hosts covering every age, appearance and ethnicity. LiveJasmin though hosts the A-list cam superstars, with every model at the top of their game. At Stripchat you'll find every skill and look from amateurs streaming out of their kitchens to semi-pro hosts based in studio settings.
Conclusion
When it comes to prices, buying credits/tokens via your mobile is one of the most expensive options, but if you're prepared to pay for the privilege, LiveJasmin is certainly worth the financial hit. However, if you're looking for a C2C event and want to open your webcam, bear in mind this will cost you an additional dollar or two a minute more.
If you want to keep the costs down, Stripchat has cheaper per minute rates available, (again webcam to webcam may be extra), but then again the streaming quality and skill/appearance of the host may not be up to the level of the LiveJasmin performers.
At the end of the day - they're two quite different cam sites, but if you're looking for the best of the best when it comes to a private live video chat experience, LiveJasmin can't be beat.
