Your Cell as Your Wallet?
Posted by Jack Cook on 12/15/06 in Pocket PC Phones, Smart Phones
Apparently Cingular is testing a new service that allows you to use your cell like a credit card. I guess it sounds like a neat idea but I do have some concerns about security in case you misplace (or decide to change) your device.
Cingular will be testing this service for up to 6 months with Nokia and financial institutions like Citigroup and MasterCard Worldwide. Two technologies, ”near-field communication” (NFC) and the MasterCard PayPass, will be built-in so you will just have to “swipe” your device to make payment .
