Parking Meters Paid by Cell Phone

Cell Phones are becoming more and more a useful tool in our daily lives. In California they have added another way to make cell phones useful. Post-Gazette has the story.

In West Hollywood, you can pay by credit card, which is not unique. But here’s the high-tech wrinkle: If the meter is about to expire, you can get a text-message warning on your cell phone. You can then use the cell to electronically deposit more money from any distance, which can come in handy if you fly off to Borneo on a whim or if your car is about to be towed.
