Gemalto, a leading provider of digital solutions, has announced that LeKiosk, France's leading distributor of digital magazines, has deployed its Netsize direct and online operator billing solution. The solution provides users a 'one-click' mobile payment feature that enables them to download the digital magazines and have the charges billed to their mobile account. Gemalto said that the new service is supported by France's three leading network operators, Bouygues Telecom, Orange and SFR.
According to Gemalto, Netsize payment interface is automatically optimized for device type - phablets, tablets, smartphones and PCs - including those using AndroidTM operating systems. Gemalto added that LeKiosk will reach millions of new consumers that do not use a credit or debit card, providing them with a quick and convenient alternative to entering card serial numbers and personal details on mobile handsets. In addition, the service does not require any registration and allows the payment to be made on 3G or 4G mobile networks as well as on Wi-Fi connection.
