LONDON (Alliance News) - Bango PLC on Tuesday said it has deepened its relationship with Microsoft Corp so that customers running the technology giant's latest operating system, Windows 10, on a PC or tablet can buy digital content by charging the costs to their mobile phone bill.
The mobile payments company said the availability with specific operators will be disclosed as the carrier-billed payments are launched starting in January.
"We have enjoyed our collaboration with Microsoft for the Windows Store, so it is a major milestone that Microsoft is now adopting this payment method across Windows 10. Operators using the Bango payment platform will get to market quickly and can then use Bango technology to maximize their Windows 10 revenue," Ray Anderson, Bango's chief executive, said.
Todd Brix, Windows Store General Manager, said: "This addition to Windows 10 presents a new opportunity for app and game developers to reach millions of unbanked or under-banked consumers by enabling them to easily bill content to their existing mobile operator accounts. Bango offers our operator partners a sophisticated platform for launching, managing and growing carrier billing business in the Windows Store."
