MIG does Payforit with Flirtomatic
Mobile Interactive Group (MIG) has been won a deal to provide “Payforit” services for mobile payments within the Flirtomatic mobile Internet portal, which apparently is one of the UK’s largest.
As our (UK) readers probably know, Payforit is the payment service, supported by all licensed UK mobile operators, designed to make it easy to pay for low cost services on the mobile phone.
Mark Curtis, the Flirtomatic CEO, says that “Flirtomatic is one of the largest off-deck WAP portals in the UK, therefore it’s essential to integrate with the new Payforit payment scheme to increase consumer confidence when purchasing products and services via mobile”
Comment: So, are any of the IntoMobile readership avid Payforit users? Thoughts, good or bad? I’ve worked with MIG professionally and they are a great company, so I can only assume this is another string to their already string-laden bow!

Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
