PlayStation Store purchases can now be made by billing your mobile phone account, Sony has announced.
The new Mobile Billing feature supports purchasing content on both the PlayStation Store and the Sony Entertainment Network (which offers the Music Unlimited service) through a PS3 or a browser. The Add Funds page that previously asked users to enter a credit or debit card number, PayPal information, or the code from a prepaid card also now has a "Use Mobile" option.
By choosing this option, you'll be prompted to enter your mobile phone number, at which point you'll need to confirm the purchase by responding to a text message. The charge for whatever you've purchased will then appear on your next mobile phone bill to be paid off like any other charge. In the case of prepaid accounts, the charge will be debited against it.
Mobile Billing is now available on the PS3's PlayStation Store and the Sony Entertainment Network website.
