Facebook Begins Testing Mobile Payments for Virtual Currency with Zong

We’ve been speculating for a long time that Facebook would begin testing alternative payment methods for its virtual currency, Facebook Credits. Well, Facebook’s first mobile payments test is now live through mobile payment provider Zong.
