Payments
Why was I charged?
Have you made any purchase online or inside mobile games, social networks, or others using your mobile device recently? Mobiamo mobile payments are used for purchasing digital goods and services online or in mobile applications.
How are payments and charges authorized?
Mobiamo payments can only be authorized with your mobile phone. If other people have access to your phone, such as family members, please check with them.
I only have a pre-paid / pay-as-you-go phone. Can I use that?
You can use a prepaid / pay-as-you-go phone as long as your phone has sufficient balance at the time of the purchase.
Can I still pay even if I don't have a bank account or credit card?
With Mobiamo, you don’t need to have a bank account or a credit card to make payments. All you need is an active mobile phone that allows Premium SMS, Direct Carrier Billing or access to value added services. Most mobile carriers have mobile payments enabled for you by default. In case it is not yet enabled for you, or you are not sure, please contact your mobile carrier directly.
I accidentally selected the wrong carrier, and now I can't complete my transaction.
Simply go back to the previous step and reselect your carrier. Doing so will not affect your current transaction nor your mobile balance.
Where can I view my payment transaction history?
In order to view your payment transaction history, you can go to the ‘Help’ section of the Mobiamo payment form or your personal PW account.
I received an error saying “You are not allowed to pay or you’re not subscribed to Premium SMS.
In certain cases, the carriers restrict online payments for certain users. Please contact your mobile carrier to enable online payments for you.
I received a notification saying that “Limit was reached.”
Mobile carriers may set spending limits. To get more information about spending limits, you may contact your mobile carrier or try using another phone number to make the payment.
I didn’t receive any SMS confirmation, but was charged.
Please check again if you were charged. If you were charged, please contact us at support@mobiamo.com with details, such as the evidence that you were charged, your phone number, and your transaction ID.
I was not able to enter the PIN code because my computer crashed / internet connection failed.
Open the payment widget if you received the code. You can also select the price point and input the code in the next step.
When I entered the PIN code provided in the SMS, I received an error saying that my PIN is invalid.
Please check if you entered the correct PIN as it is case-sensitive. Check if your PIN has expired. If it has expired, try again. If this doesn’t work, you may contact support@mobiamo.com for assistance.
I input my phone number but I keep receiving the error message “Please check your number”.

I received a notification “You must enable pop-ups to be redirected to the carrier page.
Look for the “block pop-ups” in your browser settings (normally found at the top right corner). Once you enable pop-ups, please re-try your purchase.
I encountered an error with the payment after being redirected to the carrier’s page.
Please retry the payment. If you should still experience errors while paying, please contact us at support@mobiamo.com.
I received an error message saying “Carrier not supported.”
Check the bottom of the widget to see all the supported mobile carriers in your country. If your mobile carrier is listed, and yet you still receive the error message, please contact your carrier to see if mobile payments are activated for your account.
The widget does not show my country.
Example: I am from Germany but the widget shows that my country is France, with carriers that are not supported.
Please make sure that you have no Proxy services activated. Also, try to open the payment page using another browser. If the problem still persists, please contact us at support@mobiamo.com.
