Great posting! The approach they used where they do not present the “exchange rate” until after you pick your payment method is smart (some could call it crafty, others might use other terms like deceptive). The other approach that some of the mobile payment providers promote is getting the consumer to pay the Mobile carrier costs more directly themselves, kind of the equivalent of how the “convenience charge” model works when paying for certain things like your IRS payment works.

Great article and update! In your “Other Forms….” section, you neglected to mention http://www.ClickandBuy.com. ClickandBuy is an international payment brand that is widely accepted and used across many online games and social media companies….including SuperRewards, Hi5 and Peanut Labs and hundreds of other sites.

Great work and post.
May be we can notice that mobile payment is a little more convenient because you know your phone number (it’s more difficult to memorize your card details or you always need to have the plastic card in hands).
