This type of billing has been established long before smartphones became popular but is still popular because of its convenience, security and flexibility. Mobile billing can be easily used by minors or people who don&rsquo;t want to use their bank account.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There are several methods of how you can use mobile billing:<\/p>\n<h2>Using SMS<\/h2>\n<p>This option allows users to complete payments using their text messages from a phone or smartphone. Here, two variants of payment are possible:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mobile Terminated (MT) SMS Billing&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>Mobile Originated (MO) SMS Billing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Using Direct Carrier Billing (DCB)<\/h2>\n<p>Here, the users don&rsquo;t need to either register or log in or send any SMS to checkout. As a rule, direct carrier billing is supported by mobile websites, apps and game platforms. Merchants need to get special clearance from the Central Banks for offering that service.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) Billing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Mobile Airtime Transfer<\/h2>\n<p>The mobile carriers own a built-in distribution network for payments collection in a P2P manner.
