(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Launched on 23 December 2014, the new service is supported by France's three
leading operators
- Bouygues Telecom, Orange and SFR- and works on both WiFi and 3G/4G networks
Amsterdam, Jan. 22, 2015 - Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), the world leader
in digital security, announces that LeKiosk, France's leading distributor of
digital magazines, is deploying its Netsize direct and online operator billing
solution. The end-user benefit is one-click mobile payment for digital magazine
downloads charged directly to their regular phone bill.
The new service is supported by France's three leading network operators,
Bouygues Telecom, Orange and SFR and the Netsize payment interface optimizes
automatically for any type of device - phablets, tablets, smartphones and PCs -
including those using Android(TM) operating systems. LeKiosk will so reach
millions of new consumers that do not use a credit or debit card, providing them
with a quick and convenient alternative to entering card serial numbers and
personal details on mobile handsets.
Netsize operator billing for LeKiosk was launched on 23 December 2014. It
enables straightforward mobile payment via the company's existing web portal and
a new dedicated app. No registration is required and the user's phone number
acts as a unique identifier, allowing one-click payment via a 3G or 4G mobile
network or via a Wi-Fi connection.
"Supporting mobile payment alongside a conventional credit card facility extends
our offer to new audiences and creates an additional revenue stream," said Ari
Assuied, Chairman for LeKiosk. "The Netsize solution adapts seamlessly to
whatever device the customer is using and provides the basis for expansion
across France and into other European countries."
"Reading magazines online is at the forefront of the operator billing
revolution. Lekiosk's 150,000-strong customer base combined with the widespread
coverage from France's three most important operators is an excellent starting
point for selling added value content charged to the mobile phone bill," added
Frédéric Deman, Senior Vice President of Netsize at Gemalto. "Powered by our
unique in-app Android solution, the easily customizable Netsize payment page
means all end users will always enjoy a simple and familiar transaction
experience."
