Tascomm DTS Payment Server, DTSPAY, is a new innovative solution for Internet payments. A user can pay for a service or product retrieved from Internet by making a call to a given chargeable service telephone number. Simply and fast. Using any wired or mobile telephone. The cost of the retrieved service or product is then charged in the next telephone bill.

Pay applications utilising DTSPAY services can be accessed by standard web browsers. No kind of extra software installations by end-users are required. The existence of a mobile or wired telephone, even a rotary one, is enough. The payment transaction is a simple, single-phase telephone call to the given service number and the anonymity of the end-user can be maintained.

DTSPAY is a separate server solution running on a dedicated Windows NT or 2000 platform. The actual applications interact with the server using DTS Middleware. The server is connected to the operator service number ranges via digital ISDN interfaces. Various service number ranges of different scale and price may be configured depending on the product spectre and load level.

DTSPAY opens new views to the sale of information and products, especially immaterial ones. In practice all Internet users having a telephone in addition to their Internet connection are potential customers. The payment transaction itself is simple and straightforward enough to not to scare off even the most cautious users. The invoicing is left to a party who already has such agreements with the end-users, the telephone operator.

Public information services, tickets, pictures, music, video,... You name the possible areas of use.
