Earlier this year Douglas Purdy, director of product management at Facebook, announced on the Facebook Developer blog that the company was taking steps to streamline the payments flow, by working in partnership with US, UK and German mobile operators such as, AT&T, Deutsche Telekom, Orange, Telefónica, T-Mobile USA, Verizon, Vodafone, KDDI and SOFTBANK MOBILE Corp, to provide web carrier billing.
According to a study carried out by mobile payment services provider mopay, this relatively new payment method is proving satisfying for users, as 55% of returning consumers completed more than five purchases using direct carrier billing last year.
