PayPal goes Mobile

Filed in archive Mobile Commerce by tom on March 23, 2006

PayPal has launched a mobile links

version of it's service, allowing customers to send and make payments using the PayPal service from any supported mobile device.

You can use your mobile phone to securely send money and make payments within the U.S. and Canada. To use PayPal mobile, you must activate your mobile phone. Activating your phone requires setting a secure mobile PIN and confirming phone ownership.

You can send your payment either through text message to the PayPal mobile short code 729725 (PAYPAL) or by calling the automated voice system at 1-800-4PAYPAL. You can also purchase items using Text to Buy or make donations using Text to Give.

The service is also available in the UK (you will need to be logged in to PayPal to view this page), potentially allowing any of the 10 million or so registered PayPal users to send payments via their mobile.

Also included is support for Text2Buy, a service that lets you buy items using your mobile simply by texting a product code to PayPal's shortcode.

Add your response to PayPal goes Mobile: Response from: Jenny I think it's very comfortable and fast for online managment of my money. Response from: Michael Brito Hi... Just wanted to let you know of a cool service called Frucall; the first voice-enabled comparison shopping service that allows consumers to compare retail store prices with prices online, directly from their mobile phone. It’s a quick and easy solution that sidelines many of the traditional sites that only offer comparison shopping while online. Better yet, is that consumers can soon purchase products directly from their mobile phone. The way it works is simple. For consumers who are at a retail store browsing for products; all they have to do is dial 1-888-DO-FRUCALL, enter in the bar code; and wait a few seconds for the results. Not to mention that the service is free so it’s obviously a no brainer. If you want to chat more about Frucall or how the service works, I would be more than happy to put you in touch with the right person. Take Care, Michael Brito www.frucall.com
