Summary

Product Overview
Direct carrier billing (DCB) is an online payment method that enables customers to charge purchases to their phone bills. Both mobile and feature phone users can use this online payment form. DCB can be used to purchase content on any digital platform. This method was previously only used to buy ringtones and wallpaper for feature phones, but it can now be used to buy goods and services through a variety of platforms, including desktop computers, tablets, smart TVs, and game consoles. People may, for example, purchase a music streaming subscription on a tablet and confirm the payment with their phone. Since direct carrier billing does not rely on banking infrastructure to complete a transaction, it varies from other mobile payment methods such as mobile wallets or NFC solutions. To make a payment with DCB, the user just needs to enter their phone number.
