Vesta Corporation Launches WAP-Based Phone Refills for T-Mobile Customers

Handset-Based Refills Allow Prepaid Customers to Add Minutes Anytime, Anywhere

PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vesta Corporation, a global pioneer in value-added payment solutions, has introduced a service to enable T-Mobile USA, Inc.’s prepaid wireless customers to refill their phone accounts directly through their handset. Utilizing WAP-based technology, T-Mobile is one of the first major wireless companies in the U.S. to offer this service.

“T-Mobile is dedicated to helping customers stay connected and handset-based refills from Vesta will make it even easier for our prepaid customers to do just that”

“Handset-based refilling allows customers to add minutes to their accounts wherever they are, whenever they want,” said Vesta’s CEO, Doug Fieldhouse. “With our mobile payment capability, purchasing minutes for a prepaid phone has never been easier.”

WAP applications use an Internet browser that is built into wireless cell phones — a feature that is standard on many handsets offered by T-Mobile. After launching the browser, users can quickly and easily add time to their prepaid phone accounts through the handset’s proprietary t-zones™ menu. Once customers complete an initial refill transaction via credit card or debit card, future account refills can be completed in seconds. Vesta protects the security of WAP transactions with proprietary authentication and fraud detection systems.

“T-Mobile is dedicated to helping customers stay connected and handset-based refills from Vesta will make it even easier for our prepaid customers to do just that,” said Adrian Hurditch, director of segment marketing for T-Mobile. “Already, the WAP-based refill feature has had a phenomenal response.”

“We are excited to power this new application,” Fieldhouse adds. “We envision handset-based refill as the first of many mobile commerce capabilities that will be available in the future.”
