Zong payments were only accepted by online games and social networks, and the service can be used to purchase virtual goods[[4]]. Zong was awarded the 2009 Frost & Sullivan Best Practices Award for New Product Innovation in the Mobile Payments category.[5] In May 2015, Zong disappeared from the web without any public declaration. The website now simply redirects to PayPal.
