•  No, all purchases from the Shop will be made through Vodafone operator billing. •  Customers have their payments added to their monthly bill. •  This means a higher incentive to purchase and increased chances of sales for your app.

By Q1 2011, the Vodafone Shop will allow developers to use in-application and subscription billing
