Pay for mobile phone games using your PC

Paying for your mobile phone games, wallpapers and ringtones is about to become a lot more flexible with today’s announcement that Bango, a company that distributes and sells games, is going to accept payment via PayPal on the internet. eBay users are probably already familiar with PayPal, a commonly used service by sellers and bidders in online auctions. The service enables customers to credit their account via credit card, and then use transfer that credit to another PayPal account in payment for goods or services. It’s secure, easy to use and means that sellers don’t need an expensive business account in order to accept non-cash payments.

You can set up a PayPal account at www.paypal.com, while existing users can activate their accounts to pay for mobile content with a one-time visit to www.bango.net on a PC. You’ll need to register your phone with Bango and make purchases through Bango.net, and funds will be deducted from your PayPal account.
