What is Payforit?

Payforit – the payment service supported by all licensed UK mobile operators – allows ImpulsePay to collect payment directly from a user’s mobile phone bill or available credit if on PAYG, meaning anyone with a mobile phone can now buy content on their phone or online.

The Payforit service works for any handset in the UK and across all networks. When accessed online, users can make a purchase in 16 keystrokes, which shortens to just one click on a mobile website, with no additional information such as pre-registration required.
