3 UK customers looking for alternative ways of paying their bills are in luck, as the firm's website is now accepting Delta as a payment option: the airline rather than Visa's debit system.

While the site only shows the Delta Airlines logo, we're confident that any major airline would be accepted to cover all but the most expensive mobile phone bill.

We tried to confirm this with 3 UK, but the company was unavailable for comment: perhaps too busy taking delivery of a late payment. ®
