Digi Malaysia now offers customers the option to pay for purchases in the App Store and for Apple Music and iTunes directly from their mobile phone account.
The service will be available to all Digi customers in Malaysia for postpaid and prepaid mobile plans. The launch of the service sees Digi take a dynamic new step in the development of its financial services and customer service.
Digi customers with a new or existing Apple ID select “Carrier Billing" as a payment method in your account settings for the App Store, Apple Music and iTunes and from their iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Mac, or on iTunes from their PC. The new payment option will be configured automatically and immediately allows for one-tap purchasing from your Apple devices, including Apple TV and Apple Watch, said Digi.
Last year, Digi partnered with Fortumo to launch direct carrier billing in Malaysia, enabling its customers to be able to make online payments by charging their purchases to their mobile phone bill. The partnership will see Fortumo bringing its portfolio of top merchants such as leading app stores (Google Play & Windows Phone Store), digital content providers (Sony, HOOQ, Gaana, Magzter), game developers (EA Mobile and Gameloft), smartphone manufacturers (Huawei, Xiaomi) and thousands of other merchants.
