Due to this agreement, more than 140 million subscribers of Indosat Ooredoo, 3, XL Axiata and Smartfren can subscribe to Vidio Premier and charge payments for the service to their mobile operator invoice.
Vidio launched direct carrier billing in Indonesia through Fortumo’s Hosted DCB product, which gives digital merchants access to all of Fortumo’s direct integrations with mobile operators. At the same time, Fortumo hosts the checkout flows, which are localised and compliant with each telco’s requirements.
