Mobile payments the easy way
Belgium eyes world first with text message payments describes a new mobile payment service that uses simple SMS for confirming the order and the payment. The only security measure mentioned is a secret code entered in the SMS, yet it seems that's considered safe enough. I wonder how and why.

Comments:
Not a world first. I am sure that there is a text based payment system in India which has teamed up with Citicorp and so will have some coverage. There may be one in Kenya as well.
