Neomobile's mobile payment service Onebip is launching a subscription payment service for Android devices, the company announced today. A carrier billing service, Onebip places purchases on a subscriber's monthly phone bill, and specializes in recurring payments for subscription services.

Onebip allows developers to monetize their digital goods and provide consumers with a simple, secure method for subscribing to services such as social media or gaming. It supports purchases through the mobile web, HTML or in-app. It also offers a one-click option to make purchasing on a mobile device easier.

"Subscription payments have proven to be a powerful revenue generator and tool for online merchants interested in building a loyal customer base," said Massimilliano Silenzi, head of Onebip by Neomobile. "We’ve seen online merchants triple their revenues with the introduction of a new subscription service."

Silenzi said that products like Onebip Android in-app for subscriptions and Onebip One-click for mobile payments let merchants optimize their payment processes and monetize more effectively.

"Our partners can now distribute their apps for free and let users opt in to a premium subscription in just one click, and then charge the user on a weekly or monthly basis," Silenzi said.

Available in more than 70 countries, Onebip is connected to more than 250 carriers and connects merchants to 5 billion wireless users.
