Flirtomatic chooses MIG for mobile payments

Flirtomatic has appointed MIG to manage payforIT billing on its mobile internet portal.

The flirting community service first teamed up with MIG to provide MIGPay in August last year. Rob Weisz, director of wholesale services at MIG, said:  “We are truly delighted to be working with Flirtomatic…with more and more consumers purchasing content via their mobile phone, m-commerce will remain high on the agenda throughout 2008, underpinning the need for a mobile payment solution consumers can trust.”

Mark Curtis, CEO of Flirtomatic, added: “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.  MIG and Flirtomatic have worked closely over the past three months to refine the service and to ensure Flirtomatic customers are happy with a unified cross network purchasing experience.”
