ST. LOUIS (Yosefardi) – Amdocs, the leading provider of customer experience systems and services, announced that XL Axiata, one of Indonesia’s leading mobile service providers with almost 50 million subscribers, has deployed the Amdocs Mobile Payments solution to enable direct carrier billing for leading app stores.

With this deployment, XL Axiata is the first service provider in Asia Pacific (APAC) to offer the improved payment experience of direct carrier billing at Microsoft’s Windows Phone Store to its subscribers.

Initially enabled for the Windows Phone Store, Amdocs Mobile Payments solution allows consumers to purchase apps and in-app content without the need to use a credit card or the inconvenience of lengthy registration processes, and enables XL Axiata to extend the service to other app stores, such as Google Play, and leading global aggregators as they enter the Indonesian market.
