Deals take payments firm's reach to 200m North Americans.

Now, by adding Canadian carriers, it has hugely extended its reach in North America.
Bango additionally provides mobile credit card and PayPal for payments that cannot be charged to the carrier bill.

Now, it's targeting more regions and one billion users.
"This year we are opening-up mobile billing in Latin America and key Asian territories, and forecast coverage of one billion paying customers by year end – greater reach than any e-commerce system," said Anil Malhotra, Bango's SVP of marketing.
"Bango self-optimises on-line payment from both smartphones and feature phones, meaning one connection to Bango delivers mobile payment worldwide."
