Switzerland and Taiwan can now also receive charges from iTunes for their phone bills [atualizado: Japão]

Ten months ago, we announced that Apple was adding a new payment method to the iTunes Store and its sister stores primarily in Germany and Russia: telephone operator billing. Today, Ma announced that this modality is reaching two more countries: Your and Taiwan.

With the introduction, users can make purchases in all Apple digital stores (iTunes, iBooks and App Store), as well as subscribe to Apple Music and others without the need for a credit card; a valid mobile phone number is enough. The charges arrive at the end of the month.

For now, the novelty is available to customers of Salt Mobile (formerly Orange), in Sua, and Far EasTone, in Taiwan. Other companies are expected to add modality support soon, as well as Apple to expand the possibility globally. There is no lack of reasons for this: Google, for example, saw an explosion of new users in India when it allowed its stores to be charged for phone bills.
