Thus, O2 customers in the UK are able to use ‘Charge to Mobile’ when making a purchase through the Microsoft Windows Phone Store. Whether buying digital services from a website, mobile site or within an application, ‘Charge to Mobile’ enables the customer to pay via their mobile phone bill or prepaid credit.

Charge to Mobile is available to all O2 consumer customers, with no requirement to register for the service.
