Mobile payment company Bango partners with Mozilla for Firefox OS carrier billing

Mobile payment and analytics company Bango has announced its partnership with Mozilla, bringing the company’s operator billing options to the Firefox Marketplace, and eventually to smartphones running Firefox OS. Bango’s system allows users to pay for their apps and other digital content purchases with their phone bill, rather than credit cards.

Bango has already found success through its system in both Europe and Latin America, where users may be less likely to own a credit card, and are more comfortable (or better able) to make their purchases using their phone bills or “pay-as-you-go” balances.
