It's interesting to note that Smart Communications (leading operator in the Philippines) has already had its own proprietary solution running for quite some time now. Users can send their prepaid credits at will, via SMS. In this way, the users themselves become resellers of prepaid credits (something operators usually PAY distributors to do). If I'm not mistaken, Smart has taken this internationally now, allowing sending credits to users with other operatos in other countries (I think they started with Hong Kong).
