Jordanian third largest mobile network operator (MNO), Umniah has chosen the Bango Payment Platform to deliver app store carrier billing for its subscribers. According to Umniah, it plans to activate a range of app store connections through Bango’s platform and kicks off the service today with the launch of Microsoft’s Windows Phone Store. Umniah subscribers using Windows Phone Store will hence be able to enjoy one-click carrier billing, charging the cost of their digital purchases to their phone bill, without the need for credit cards or to register personal details.
Windows Phone Store is the user-centric app store from Microsoft, with a range of recognizable and exclusive content, featuring live Apps that update in real time along with personalized App recommendations.
According to Bango, Microsoft has shown strong commitment to carrier billing, with 86 MNOs in 50 countries connected to its App store.
