By now there are many alternatives for the paying for online contents. Nevertheless, almost all established solutions require the entry of credit card or bank account data – at least for the registration. In comparison to this paying a mobile phone is totally anonymous and a lot easier. When using the so called Web Billing one has to enter the mobile phone number on the particular website and must authorize the payment via a SMS or a PIN which is sent to the user.

Payment via a mobile phone is even more attractive since more and more operators start offering better outpayments for the billing of online services. Since almost each internet user owns a mobile phone (but not necessarily a credit card or Paypal account) and mobile phone carriers usually guarantee the outpayments for all transactions, Web Billing can be a lot more economic than credit card or bank based payment methods – even if they have lower transaction costs.

In Germany mobileview offers special conditions for Web Billing via the market leaders T-Mobile and Vodafone – as well as via all operators in Austria and Romania.

In a few countries there currently are negotiations in order to enable higher payouts for the mobile payment of online services.
