Samsung Ties-Up With Vodafone And Aircel to Offer Operator Billing Support
Samsung today announced operator billing integration, the first-of-its kind, for its Samsung app store by allowing users to download their favorite apps and games with the option of payment through their mobile bill. With a host of thousands of relevant applications, Samsung App store is the first OEM to provide this unique offering for a global Android App store within India. Starting 1st May 2014, the operator billing integration is available for both prepaid and postpaid customers to enjoy uninterrupted downloads.
Talking about the tie-up, Mr. Tarun Malik, Director of Media Solutions Center-South West Asia, Samsung Electronics, said, "We are excited to partner with India's major telecom operators for this unique integration. This exclusive tie-up on Samsung App store further showcases our commitment to providing the best service experience to our customers. Given the poor credit card penetration in the country, we are positive that this move will be welcomed by customers. It is another step forward to expand our engagement with the publisher and developer community by enhancing adoption as well as monetization from the store."
