Mobile ticketing business Corethree has arranged a partnership with carrier billing specialist Boku. It means consumers will be able to charge bus tickets to their mobile phone account when they buy them via a Corethree application. Currently customers need to use a debit or credit card.

Initially the two companies will work on adding Boku’s mobile payment service to Corethree’s MoBus mobile solution.

Ashley Murdoch, Corethree’s CEO, said “This is a landmark partnership for Corethree that enables carrier based mobile payments for m-ticketing. Boku’s payment solution fits seamlessly with our own technology and will provide more innovative opportunities for our clients and their customers. We are constantly evolving our business to bring greater opportunities to our clients and this is another very positive step in our journey.”

Corethree has developed m-ticket apps for a number of UK transport companies, including Brighton & Hove buses, Edinburgh trams and First UK Bus.

ExclusiveThe positive cult of giffgaff

Mark Bridge writes:

Wouldn't it be great if mobile customers loved their networks so much that they'd fight for them?  Ofcom would be inundated with complaints from O2 users about its decision not to allow GSM frequencies to be used for 3G services. Vodafone customers would demand that Nokia pre-loaded the N8 with a Vodafone 360 application. Orange users would be sending petitions to radio stations, asking them to implement HD Voice on phone-ins. And giffgaff users would take to online forums to defend the service they receive.

Oh, hang on. That last one's already happening.

ExclusiveLet's stop being so girly about mobile phones

Mark Bridge writes:

I remember the 1980s. In fact, I rather enjoyed them. Hang on a sec, hear me out. There really was some good stuff there – not least the renaissance of "sisters doin' it for themselves". Oh, and the launch of the UK's first cellular mobile phone network.
