Abstract

A computer-implemented method of identifying a mobile device for carrying out a transaction includes receiving from a mobile device a purchase request, providing to the mobile device a redirect message to direct the mobile device to a device number identification service, and obtaining an identifier for conducting commerce with the device and using the identifier to request a transaction authorization from a billing service associated with the device.
