Morodo Limited today announced that it has partnered with Ukash
to provide a new payment option for customers of its well-known
MO-Call voice and SMS service. MO-Call customers may now use Ukash
vouchers to buy airtime credit at the MO-Call website from their
mobile phone or computer.
Morodo Managing Director, Andrew Reid, said. "Working with Ukash
allows us to connect the unbanked to low-cost calls and SMS.
MO-Call offers the best value in communication from just about any
mobile, anywhere in the world. Perhaps the most frequently asked
question of our customer services team is 'How can I pay if I don't
own a credit or debit card?' We're very pleased that Ukash provides
us with a simple answer to that question. MO-Call is now equally
accessible to everyone."
Paul Coxhill, Marketing Director, Ukash, said: "Ukash provides
everyone - from the hundreds of thousands of unbanked consumers to
those who are wary of using credit cards on the Internet - with a
way to make simple and secure payments online using cash. The
partnership with MO-Call is another step toward our goal of
allowing everyone, anywhere in the world to benefit from using cash
to shop, pay and play online."
MO-Call enables low-cost and free calling and SMS direct from a
mobile phone or computer. MO-Call works through a browser or
plug-in software applications that can be downloaded from the
MO-Call website www.mo-call.com
Globally, Ukash is available at more than 420,000 physical
issuing points and spans 31 countries. More information, and exact
