Russians can settle Internet and phone bills with bitcoin

Russian citizens can now pay their bills for internet and mobile phones with Bitcoin. Megafon, Beeline and other popular operators now accept Bitcoins through such services as Cryptonator and 7pay.in. Such services can make Bitcoin more attractive for ordinary Russian users. Cryptonator also offers payment options for popular online games, such as World of Tanks, Perfect World and others. Besides, they can use Bitcoins to replenish their accounts in popular Russian social networks and Skype.

However, the service doesn’t make Bitcoin payments directly. They take Bitcoins, then convert it to rubles according to the system’s internal rate and only then send the money to the final destination.
