Subscribers of TrueMove H, recently judged by Frost & Sullivan as one of the best mobile carriers in Asia Pacific, can now pay for their Netflix subscriptions conveniently and securely as part of their mobile phone bills, thanks to the payments platform enabled by DOCOMO Digital, leaders in direct carrier billing.
