T-Mobile Launches Carrier Billing For the Android Market
Henceforth, T-Mobile subscribers now have the pleasure of benefiting from carrier billing with the Android Market. You will recall that not quite long ago, the mobile carrier released to its users software update. The update is for its customers who have devices that are Android based.
T-Mobile also took time out to launch a number of information on the new update, emphasizing that users do not need to actively get involved in any specific task to be beneficiary of this latest development. The company’s plan is to have the update done without actively involving its users. This may mean that users will only have their mobile phones updated unnoticed.
“Beginning December 9th customers on post-paid accounts with devices running Android 1.6, such as the T-Mobile and T-Mobile myTouch 3G, will begin to receive an update Android to the Market application to allow for purchases to be charged directly to Their T-Mobile account. This allows customers to purchase paid applications without entering credit card information.” A post found on the T-Mobile Forums.
T-Mobile’s plan is to avail its subscribers the opportunity of buying applications from the app store, get them paid on their phone bill, without having to enter their credit card details. The company assured customers that all software that have been already downloaded and installed will not be charged for if they latter uninstall it, as long as it is within a 24 hour period.
Observers believe that the mobile telecommunication carrier is yet to reveal all details regarding the new billing. We expect that the other details will not be long in coming after all. What is however very clear is, Google’s checkout billing method will be the only option for those subscribers and users of Motorola CLIQ and the Samsung Behold II.
