Carrier billing for Google Play coming soon to Verizon

Verizon Wireless will finally be joining AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile with carrier billing support for purchasing apps, in-app purchases, movies, music and books through the Google Play store.

Carrier billing works by directly charging a user’s monthly phone bill for purchases, rather than requiring a user to supply credit card information.

Google tweeted yesterday that Verizon Wireless will be adding carrier billing for the Google Play in “the coming weeks.”

Although earlier studies from Distimo and Flurry reported Google Play monetizes at a far lower rate than the iTunes App Store, that appears to be changing.
