I used to paying with my mobile phone instead of credit card for a long time. Although the most popular softwares such as Apple Pay and Sumsung Pay are forbidden in my country, you can easily get around this ban. You can buy your banks payment sticker or start using Mir Pay.
On the other hand, you need to be careful when to pay with your mobile device, as you can understand, convenient do not mean safe.
