TexTango is a revolutionary, patent pending mobile billing and music delivery platform that allows anyone, anywhere in the United States to purchase music simply by sending a premium text message with their cell phone. The purchase is billed to the customers’ cell phone bill and the music is downloaded off of the Textango website.

While credit card may not pose as a problem for American adults, it is a concern for many teenagers. Given that roughly 80% of 12-18 year olds have cell phones but not necessarily credit cards and that demographic is about 50% of the music industry’s target consumers, it’s logical to use mobile phones to pay for these songs.

It’s also an alternative for those who do not want to use their credit card for security reasons.

Each song is priced $1.99, two times higher than iTunes and other music sites. Only 4% of the price goes to Textango, 50% to the artist, and the rest to the mobile carrier.
