There are 3 type of M-commerce, which is Premium Content, Remote Payment and Point-of-sale. Premium Content is where special or expensive content is offered to the phone subscriber. It depends a lot on the phone technology that is 3G (3rd generation) or 4G (4th generation). 3G phones are available in almost every country however there are only a few countries like Japan and South Korea with 4G technologies enabled. These services include like video, music and stock exchange information. Remote Payment is largely similar to E- Commerce on the web. It basically refers to the online payment of money whereby the one paying is in a different location from the one receiving. This is supported in m-commerce through secure payment connections. The last and third type is point-of-sale this refers to commerce in which the mobile device is used as a point of sale. This is possible if the device can access the online store. These devices are not the typical mobile devices but are capable of accessing higher content. They are usually WAP enabled and can access xml and java components as well.
