Payment solution

This weekly early time I made a report about the payment solution in China, since credit cards, post and other bank cards are not fit us, so I suggest the best way is SMS payment. And I searched the China Mobile website already. And since in the weekly meeting, we agree to look for a SP of China mobile who already had a SMS number, and now I am still checking the 562 SPs in the list of China Mobile. I plan to report it next weekly meeting
