This has been an issue I've been trying to solve for a good long while, and I've finally decided to come here for help in the hopes that someone will be able to help me out. I've checked out every service on this page http://www.justanswer.com/general/82skl-buy-bitcoins-sms-phone-payment.html and then some. After spending half a day searching for ways to salvage the excess account balance I have on my VM account, I'm willing to lose even so much as 75% of the paid credit, as my original plan to use Boku and a roundabout way of selling in game currencies has fallen through (Boku no longer supports VM in the US).

Is there any non-scam, working, US-based way to buy Bitcoins with a premium SMS/phone charge at this time? If not, what do you suggest I do?

Just a note, every service on that list is either inactive, non-US or a scam.
