Credit cards out – Cell phones in…
Paying with my cell-phone?
The future is not fare away when it comes to being able to useing your cell phone as your credit card. It is actually already an option in the capitol of technology, namely Japan. The time where the sales person will be asking “would you like that to be charged on your cell” is not fare away.
What are we waiting for?
This technology is, say experts, relatively simple. It would costs the phone companies such as nokia and sumsung a dollar per phone to install the neccesary technology in the phones. It is basicly all up to them to decide when this option of payment should hit our boarders.
Not just a credit card
Funktioning as a credit card is not the only option possible. Many of us also carry around plastic cards using them as keys at work. This funktion could be put into the phone, aswell as driving licence information could be carried in the phone. In my opinion this could be great!!!
The one and only problem!
If this all became reality, there would only be one problem. What if you throw away your cell???
