The socalled direct Carrier Billing method of payment could benefit unbanked customers. And other people looking for an alternative way to shop or make a charity contribution. But the reality of thirdparty charges on telephone bills is a different story. A profoundly different tale and it hasnt lived up to its potential. As soon as the phone Company Opened up outside scammers found a way to scam the system. They have added charges to peoples bill and are relentless in doing so. Many dont understand, including colleag colleagues, that their phone bill have charges for things they never bought. And they are paying for things they never bought. And it is an unwelcome surprise to them especially when they discover that they have trouble they turned their attention to the market was purchasing through the text message service.
