That would be awesome. I think if it were possible to buy apps through the pay-by-phone service, the local phone companies would have offered that service long ago. In my country, you can use those to pay utilities and even some taxes. But you can't buy anything from outside the country (or really, from anywhere that doesn't have cellphone coverage for that particular company), and you can't pay in foreign currencies.
