A server hosting an electronic shopping application comprises a processor, a memory, and an application stored in the memory that receives a request for electronic shopping content from a mobile communication device, confirms the mobile communication device receives service from a participating wireless provider, routes the request through an internet gateway of the wireless provider, and receives a request to buy an item from the mobile communication device. The application further transmits a request for payment transaction information to the wireless provider, receives payment transaction information, transmits a payment dialog box to the mobile communication device, and receives an input PIN and an input selection of a payment mechanism from the mobile communication device. The application further receives payment information from the wireless provider, completes at least a portion of a checkout screen, and completes a payment transaction on behalf of the mobile communication device based on the payment information.

A dual package container formed from a single-piece blank that is separable, for example, from a standard twelve-bottle container into first and second six-bottle packages. The first package includes an inner wall that is connected across a first fold line located along its lower edge to the inner wall of the second package. Tabs extending from top and bottom flaps of the first package are glued to corresponding top and bottom flaps of the second package. The tabs are attached the top and bottom flaps of the first package across second fold lines. The first and second fold lines are perforated to facilitate tearing during a separation process in which the first package is separated from the second package. The single-piece blank includes panels that form the walls of the first and second packages. Flanges extending from inner wall panels are respectively glued to end wall panels of the first and second packages. Another flange is either formed on an end panel of the blank and glued to the inside wall panel of the first package, or formed on the inside wall panel and glued to the end panel. The single-piece blank is folded and glued using standard automated machines to form the dual package container.
