NEW DELHI, INDIA: Atom Technologies, a provider of mobile/IVR payment solutions, announced that it has tied-up with DishTV, a direct to home (DTH) entertainment service provider, to offer phone/mobile payment solutions to over five million DishTV subscribers across India.

This service offers the convenience to recharge accounts through phone over the Atom's secure platform using credit cards/debit cards, anytime, anywhere.

Salil Kapoor, COO, DishTV, said: “We are highly focused on our customers and continue to innovate and invest in enhancing their experience. To provide more convenient and risk free payment options to our rapidly increasing subscriber base, we have put into service the Atom platform, which will encourage more customers to pay using their phones. Our association with Atom Technologies for using the innovative Interactive Voice Response (IVR) technology will offer more convenience to our subscribers by providing them with additional option of making payments.”
