Vodafone Australia has launched an innovative payment method for its pre-paid mobile customers, allowing them to recharge via PayPal.
Vodafone Australia has become the second operator in the world to offer re-charges via PayPal, with Vodafone Italia launching a similar service in August.
'Mobiles have come a long way in a short time,' said Russell Hewitt, CEO at Vodafone Australia. "Australians are highly mobile and they often need to recharge on the move, so we've made that possible today."
The service allows users to recharge directly via their phones once their PayPal accounts are linked to their mobile accounts. Customers will then be sent a recharge PIN via SMS or email, which can be redeemed with a free call.
