DOCOMO Digital on Thursday announced that it has enabled direct carrier billing for HUAWEI AppGallery for Asiacell, Iraq's leading mobile carrier.
Carrier billing is an increasingly popular mode of payment for digital services, especially in emerging markets across the Middle East, enabling faster and frictionless transactions in application marketplaces such as HUAWEI AppGallery while providing better transparency and control over purchases for subscribers. Digital content consumption, including video streaming and gaming, has been steadily increasing in Iraq.
HUAWEI AppGallery is the third-largest application marketplace globally, with more than 540 million monthly active users. Huawei has committed US$1 billion to attract app developers to HUAWEI AppGallery, and the community has now grown to 2.7 million, with 300,000 of those developers based outside China.
Chra Hussain, Chief Commercial Officer at Asiacell
Asiacell is committed to bringing great customer experiences to our subscribers. Huawei phones have a large user base in Iraq, and our customers will enjoy the added convenience provided by carrier billing.
Jonathan Bennett, Chief Commercial Officer at DOCOMO Digital
Our state-of-the-art managed service platform is purpose-built to make integrations with application marketplaces such as HUAWEI AppGallery happen for our telco partners quickly and reliably, reducing the demands on internal teams.
