Send & Receive Money with PayPal: “No Computer Required”
By Merle http://MCPromotionsPress.com
Paypal is pretty much the standard online when it comes
to buying goods and services. But what about offline?
Paypal has decided to combine their service with the
mobility of cell phones, calling the new service “Paypal
Mobile.” It is presently available in the U.S., Canada and
the U.K.
PayPal Mobile gives you the ability to send people money and
also buy things
with what they call “Text to Buy.” When you see some-
thing advertised at an event or in a magazine or even
on a poster, if it has “Text to Buy” next to it, you
can use your cell phone to purchase it.
So what can you buy? Things like DVD’s, CD’s, books,
electronics, accessories and more. The price of the
item includes shipping and any tax. The item is then
shipped to the address listed in your Paypal account
within one day. Delivery takes about 5 to 7 days. All
merchandise is sent by the Merchant, not Paypal.
Here’s what the order process looks like:
1) You see something advertised you want to buy with
the words “Text to Buy” in the ad.
2) You send a text message with the item code to
the number shown in the ad.
3) You’ll receive a call back to confirm the order
4) The item ships out
You can also use Paypal’s new service to send money.
There is no charge to send funds with your cell
phone or to receive it if you have a personal
Paypal account. Business accounts are charged the
standard rates for receiving payments. Depending
on your cell phone and calling plan, you may be charged for
your text
messaging.
There are two ways to send money with your phone:
1) You text to 729725 (Paypal)
With the amount and the recipient’s phone number.
Example: Send 10 to 2167804970
Note: You must use the words “send” and “to”
2) Paypal will call you back and you must enter
your secret pin # to confirm.
3) The person you sent the funds to is immediately
notified by Paypal and told how to claim their
funds.
The other way to send money is to use their 800 number:
1) Call 800-472-9725
2) Type in your mobile pin #
3) Enter the amount and phone number to send it
to when asked.
4) Again, the recipient is notified on how to claim
the funds.
To use Paypal Mobile you’ll first need to
have a Paypal account. Then you’ll need to activate
your cell phone. To do this you’ll need to log into
your Paypal account, type in your cell phone number
and select a 4 to 8 digit pin number. Paypal will
call you to confirm the account.
If you’re worried about security, all transactions
made with your phone are protected by your unique
mobile pin number and are covered with the same
protection you get with your online Paypal account.
So next time you need to send money with Paypal,
or have an urge to buy something,
you no longer need to wait until you’re in front
of a computer with an Internet connection.
With people growing more and more mobile and
demanding technology that keeps up with their
busy lifestyle, Paypal now has a place to call
home off-line as well as on.
