Same can happen with a credit-card where customers can challenge a charge and request a refund after 30 days. And putting it on a phone- bill won't exclude the option of 24hour refund.
If the customer get properly warned that they will be billed and x- amount of dollars when they buy an app, i'm all for billing customers through their phone-bill. They are already having a financial relationship with their cell-phone service provider and it would remove a big barrier for them buying apps. It would me much like buying downloadable ringtones, which mostly is billed through customers' phone-bills.
