Pay by phone the next evolution in mobile technology – it’s here
The success of the Oyster card system for London Transport is being replicated so that payment can be made by a contact point on a mobile phone, and for use in a myriad of different shops. Orange are the first mobile company to roll out the ‘Quick Tap’ system. Other points to note in relation to this are :-
- customers can make purchases of up to £15.00
- 50,000 shops nationwide have already agreed to accept payments this way, including Eat, Little Chef and McDonald’s
- The system currently only works on the Orange system and on one phone, the Samsung Tocco Quick Tap
- up to £100.00 a time needs to be first transferred to the mobile phone account.
