How does it work?

The consumer selects digital content on the website… then validates a number of  payment pages, depending on the connection mode (3G/4G or WiFi). The purchase will be charged to the buyer’s mobile phone bill.

Example of DCB flow (using a 3G or a 4G connection):

The consumer’s mobile phone number is automatically
recognised through the mobile network provider.
After successful completion of the different steps, the
digital content is made available to the customer and a
purchase confirmation receipt is sent by SMS.
