Through this partnership, customers running Windows 10 on a PC or tablet can now buy digital content by charging the costs to their mobile phone bill.
Bango said it is collaborating with its raft of mobile operator partners and Microsoft to ensure this payment method would be available as widely as possible.
The company added that each network operator’s availability will be announced as they are launched throughout January.
According to Bango, operators will benefit from Bango Boost technology, which analyzes and benchmarks a wide range of KPIs that grow payments success rates from carrier billing.
