Nokia, Vodacom join hands

Subscribers using Nokia Lumia and other Windows Phone based smartphones, will now have the choice to pay for any applications via their Vodacom account.

The costs will be automatically accrued as part of their monthly bill for contract customers or deducted from their pre-paid airtime credit.

Gerard Brandjes, vice president of sales at Nokia South East Africa said through such offerings, Nokia continually strived to bring rich experiences to Nokia Lumia smartphone users.

“Access to apps and content is an important part of the overall experience, but paid for content on Windows Store has previously been limited to South Africans with credit or debit card facilities. Operator billing with Vodacom now extends the access to paid apps and games to a far broader audience, and will be a key benefit for those looking to purchase the new lower priced Nokia Lumia 520 or 720,” he said.

The Store is growing daily with more than 135 000 apps now available globally, including apps such as DStv Drifter, News 24, Sasol e-birds and Supersport. – CAJ News.
