Vodafone Australia has launched a PrePay top-up option using PayPal’s mobile payment platform. Vodafone prepaid customers simply register for a PayPal account online and select from either direct debit or credit card payment. Once the PayPal account is activated, customers can recharge their Vodafone Prepaid Cap or Extras Pack directly from their mobile phone via the Vodafone live! mobile content portal.

Mobiles have come a long way in a short time, said Russell Hewitt, CEO at Vodafone Australia. Now, Vodafone is harnessing the capabilities of mobiles to make life even easier for our customers. Australians are highly mobile and they often need to recharge on the move, so we’ve made that possible today.

This is great news for Vodafone customers and is a perfect solution that is specifically designed to support mobile communications products and services, added Hewitt.Vodafone is the first company in Australia to offer mobile recharge services, and only the second company in the world to introduce PayPal mobile recharge, following a similar launch by Vodafone Italy in August.
