Parking Meters by SMS


A new system for parking meters payment was introduced in Lisbon, with this system you can pay your car parking ticket meter by cell phone just sending a SMS. The innovation was only possible with a creation of a partnership between the 3 mobile phone companies TMN, Vodafone, Optimus and the EMEL (public car parking company).

This payment technology is opened to all the cell phone users, including the foreigners who come to Portugal and have a roaming service. This new technology service is already used in some major cities of Europe, especially in the Nordic countries. Sweden was one of the pioneers in this type of payment.
