Mobile billing allows you to charge small expenses to your cell phone bill. It’s increasingly popular especially with the college-aged crowd. Here’s why:

1. Buy now, pay later. Mobile billing allows you to make purchases now and not pay for them until your cell phone bill comes. This is terrific for college students who may not have access to a credit card yet. It allows them to aggregate small purchases and pay for them just once a month.
2. It’s a very convenient way to pay for online purchases. College students love to make small purchases online from both their computers and their mobile phones. They like to buy games, ringtones and other small items. It’s a lot more convenient to just pay with your phone than to be charged via another method when making these small purchases.
3. Mobile billing may provide a cheaper option for payment. College students may have bank accounts that charge them debit fees. The fees for mobile billing, when there are any, tend to be low. College students are always looking to save a buck!
4. A mobile phone is always handy. College students have grown up in an era when they wouldn’t even think about leaving home without their cell phone. They’re more likely to forget their keys than their phones. They are certainly more likely to forget their cash and credit cards. Having the option of paying with their cell phones is really convenient.
5. It’s the way of the future. College students are on the cutting edge of future trends. Mobile billing is one of those trends.
