SK Telecom offers billing via cellphone

Cellphone users can now get their phone bills through the wireless Internet, SK Telecom said yesterday, reports JoongAng Daily. "Customers will receive a text message every month letting them know they can view their bill."

And nice:

"Also, with Green Korea, an environmental activist group, SK Telecom will participate in a campaign to reduce paper billing.

For every customer who starts receiving their bills via e-mail or mobile phone,the company will donate 100 won to Green Korea. The funds will be used to plant trees or for projects that give underprivileged people a chance to visit forests."

SK Telecom said that if 100,000 out of its 19 million users apply for electronic billing, it can save 21 tons of paper and protect 360 30-year-old trees every year.

It will also help the company reduce its mailing and billing costs."
