Of mild grammatical interest is the phrase for the mobile payment. The noun phrase uses katakana, ケータイ払い, for the Japanese word for mobile phone (ケータイ), while the verbal phrase to pay by phone, makes use of the Kanji for ケータイ, 携帯. A more literal translation of the verbal phrase would be to pay at the phone.
