'PayByPhone supplies Paris suburb m-parking system'Dec 18, 2009 (DMEUROPE via COMTEX) -- US m-payment company PayByPhone has introduced France's first car parking mobile payment system in the Parisian suburb of Issy-les-Moulineaux. The system works with all operators and all mobile phones. First time users submit their car licence plate number and bank card details over the internet or mobile phone. After parking their car, they connect to paybyphone's mobile website or call its voice server, input a parking zone code, and confirm their vehicle and how long they want to park. Users can reconnect or call at any time to extend or reduce their parking time, and can be alerted by SMS five minutes before their time expires. Parking attendants have been equipped with PDA terminals to check whether vehicles without a pay and display ticket have used the mobile system. PayByPhone's m-payment service is used in 180 cities worldwide, including for bicycle rental services in Nice and Cannes. Distributed for DMeurope.com via M2 Communications (www.m2.com) |
