One more thing you can do with your cell phone…

by Teresa Valdez Klein on March 8, 2006

The waiter at Hanuman Thai - my favorite restaurant in downtown Kirkland, WA (which happens to have free WiFi) tells me about a very cool service called Text Pay Me that’s kind of like PayPal for cell phones.

I can imagine this coming in very handy for splitting dinners with coworkers when you don’t have enough cash. I hope it takes off and becomes even more streamlined. It would be so efficient to use this to pay for transportation in particular - bus, train, taxi cab - and for other quick things like coffee or drive through.

This is actually a pretty cool service. But you gotta hope to not mis-dial the number you’re sending cash to!
