PT Hutchison 3 Indonesia's mobile customers can now pay directly for purchases in Windows Phone Store via their mobile phone bill.

Dusseldorf, 07. January 2016 -

3 PT Hutchison 3 Indonesia (H3I), the second largest mobile broadband traffic operators in Indonesia, enable their subscribers to pay any Windows apps purchases via Direct Carrier Billing by using their phone balance as opposed to a credit card as their preferred payment method to pay for games and apps.

Since H3I and net mobile AG (net-m) share the same passion to offer mobile customers what they really need, namely convenient to use services and real flexibility, the Indonesian operator awarded the contract to the Dusseldorf based Direct Carrier Billing specialist net-m which is a subsidiary of DOCOMO Digital - the holding company for the global digital ecosystem platform business operations of NTT DOCOMO. The assignment took place as part of the parent company CK Hutchison Group's '3' framework contract in the course of which customers of '3' in Italy can already use the new payment method in Windows Phone Store.

Sebastian Böhm, Senior Vice President and Executive Director responsible for Payment Solutions at net mobile AG adds: 'Indonesia is a fast growing market in South-Eastern Asia with 254.3 million inhabitants and more than 318.5 million mobile connections. The SIM penetration, at 125%, is much higher than credit card penetration which is only 6.2% or 15.8 million cards. As a result, we are happy to enable H3I's Windows Phone users to pay for digital goods such as applications and games easily and securely via their mobile phone bill.'

net-m works in close collaboration with Microsoft and other Over-the-Top players and maintains a leadership position for mobile payment services globally. net-m's payment infrastructure makes it easy to connect different payment interfaces and guarantees stringent compliance with various regulatory and technical requirements when in operation.

As a result of its innovative payment architecture for mobile network operators around the world, the Dusseldorf specialist for mobile payment serves approximately 220 million users who can pay for purchased digital goods easily and safely via their mobile phone bill with the one-click Direct Carrier Billing payment method.
