This is superb marketing for Bitcoin. It's a pretty big deal that large corporations slowly but surely follow the trend and are less afraid to try out something new.
It would be cool if they accepted Bitcoin through Lightning as well, which would generate them even more publicity because that's technically speaking where we are heading to when it comes to day-to-day transactions. Most of what I spend nowadays is done with Lightning through Bitrefill. I'm definitely looking forward to more adoption in this field.

Fantastic. the adoption we have been crying for is gradually getting real. I am moreover happy about how it's happening at a good pace. With time, everyone is gonna get on board in one way or the other. Bitcoin is here to stay.

Oh wow, not bad! Looking at how A1 is planning on accepting AliPay and WeChatPay as well later this month [1] it's quite interesting that they are spearheading with crypto first.
For now it appears to be only a pilot project running in some of their retail stores however, so paying your phone bill with Bitcoin is not in the possible... yet.
