Bango.com<\/a> is a service that handles payments for off-portal mobile content providers. If you are selling ring tones, games, videos or whatever on the mobile web Bango handles the complex details of collecting funds from users anywhere in the world either by direct billing on the customer’s phone bill, a credit card or PayPal. I’ve heard only good things about Bango’s billing service.<\/p>\n I was intrigued when I learned about Bango’s new Bango Button<\/a> service which is supposed to make it easy to promote your mobile content – like a mobile website, image or a ring tone. Carlo Longino at MobHappy mentioned the Bango Button in a recent post<\/a> and provided one that links to MobHappy’s mobile site<\/a>.<\/p>\n Carlo did warn that the user experience was pretty bad but I wanted to see for myself and set up a Bango Button, which points to WapReview.mobi<\/a>.<\/p>\n From the publishers point of view setup is easy, but what about the end user experience? It turns out that the button behaves differently depending on whether it’s clicked from a desktop browser or a mobile browser.<\/p>\n I’m sure that Bango will fix the button so that it works with all browsers. But I really don’t understand what advantages the Bango Button has for publishers. It just as easy to add your own link or button that goes directly your mobile site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bango.com is a service that handles payments for off-portal mobile content providers.
