I think it's a good idea. But i think SMS for the rest of the world is a bad idea. Obviously, not everyone has a phone, so you're going to be missing out on legitimate customers.

I think it wuold be great if it only applied to surfers from countries that have the toll free number. Like, if you could use some sort of GeoIP script so that until you have toll free numbers in say, Australia, then only Americans, Canadians, and Mexicans would have to go through this confirmation. And then when you do get a toll free number setup in Austrlia, then add Australia to the list of countries that need to confirm.

You'll obviously still be making a little dent in chargebacks, but you'd also be minimising the number of surfers unable to join your site.
