Sprint direct billing now live in US
Bango has switched on Sprint direct bill so 52 million subsribers on the Sprint/Nextel network can now pay for your mobile content on their phone bill. Research firm IDC report that Sprint customers spend more on mobile data than the customers of other mobile operators in the US.
Bango now provides the highest performing off-portal billing service across over 115 million US subscribers (Sprint and Cingular/AT&T), giving your customers the confidence to browse and buy content and delivering you high success rates and the lowest refund levels in the industry. We continue to work with the other US operators to bring this off-portal payment experience to all US subscribers in the near future.
Bango allows you to more efficiently monetize the huge increase in traffic in the USA over the last year. This is set to grow further as mobile search and advertising are deployed in the USA and the iPhone drives user excitement.
What you need to do
As with all US operators, you can only bill for G-rated content.
- If you’re already G-rated you do not need to do anything further.
- If you'd like G-rating for your content, complete the online form in this Knowledgebase answer.
Sprint provides Bango with access to the user phone number - giving you important benefits in tracking repeat visitors, personalization and a smooth one-click payment flow for your consumers.
Kind regards
