Premium Rate Mobile Billing for the Cell Phone

Direct mobile carrier billing has been big in Asia for many years with up to 80% of all people having used the mobile phone for billing of purchases.  In fact, the average non-cellular phone charges billed to a mobile phone per month in Korea is in excess of $50.

When premium SMS burst onto the scene a few years ago in the USA and Canada, the thought was that it would revolutionize micro-billing to the mobile phone.  Unfortunately, that has not happened, due in part to the carrier’s greed in taking an average of 45% of the payment off the top.  More recently, the carriers have made it virtually impossible to share short codes for premium SMS, thus dramatically increasing the costs of operating such a solution.  Hence, premium SMS has been used less and less over time and only for digital goods.
