Cellphone Bus Ticket

Walking on the streets of Bonn, I've noticed a poster, advertising for the Handy-Ticket concept. So what is it about? You can buy your buss/tram ticket by sending a SMS to a special phone number of Deutsche Bahn, and they charge you accordingly. Afterwards, you receive a ticket via MMS or SMS, at the normal price.

This is a rather old concept for Bonn, but it would be cool if we also had it in some big cities in Romania. We have enough mobile phone subscribers :-D

Yesterday I was (somehow) amused to see in the train station that you can pay with your mobile to get inside a public toilet

In Sofia you can pay your parking space by sending an SMS. In Romania we still have a problem with the theft of phones... So I don't know how safe and efficient it will be to grant access to your bank account just by SMS.

Se cheama Premium SMS, le avem si noi pentru downloadat ringtone-uri, stiri, jocuri, orice chestie. Dar de la a fi utilizator de mobil si pana la a le folosi in sistemul administrativ romanesc e cale lunga.
