  2. Mobile phones are the key to microplayments by dybdahl · · Score: 2, Informative

    The key to micropayments is to use existing customer relationships. Mobile phones are a good example - you can buy access to information or services by sending an SMS to a specific phone number. The payment comes onto your phone bill and everybody is happy.

    I am currently involves in implementing micropayments for gaming services, and it works great.
