Vodafone Spain to Support Operator Billing on BlackBerry App World
Customers will be able to apply their BlackBerry App World purchases directly to their monthly bill from Vodafone Spain
Madrid, Spain – - Research In Motion (NASDAQ: RIMM; TSX: RIM) and Vodafone Spain announced an operator billing option for Vodafone Spain customers that purchase apps on BlackBerry® App World™.
Operator billing will allow Vodafone Spain customers to conveniently and securely purchase apps from BlackBerry App World and charge the purchases directly to their Vodafone bill. Customers will also be able to charge in-app purchases to their Vodafone bill, which allows for the purchase of digital goods, such as additional content or more levels to a game, to be made without interrupting the application experience.
BlackBerry ID, which provides customers with a secure device-independent user identification (ID) for use with BlackBerry App World (and other BlackBerry services), enables this new payment option in addition to allowing customers to seamlessly transfer their personal library of free and purchased apps when they switch to a new BlackBerry® smartphone. Furthermore, BlackBerry ID requires the user to enter their password when making a purchase, providing an added layer of security that can help protect a user from unauthorized purchases in the event their smartphone is lost or stolen.
