Mobile parking payment service

Electronic business (e-business), as a phenomenon popularised by the Internet and the development of networking technologies, is entering a period of rapid expansion in the field of portable communications devices and their respective applications. In the present day there are numerous services available on the Internet via wireless networking technologies. Mobile phones have proved themselves to be an ideal platform for conducting e-business because of their practicality, availability and simplicity of usage. One of the examples of practical efficiency of a mobile phone is the option of paying for services via short textual messages (SMS) through Wireless Application Protocol (WAP). The SMS parking service is a relatively fresh service on the market (not the only one of the sort). It is used primarily in the urban, city areas world wide and it represents a significant contribution to e-business. Simplicity, compatibility, availability and the option of paying for a service at any time from any place makes this way of conducting payment very acceptable to the end users. Besides its practicality and simplicity mobile payment is widely available. There is a report available at any point on the current state of the charge as well as on the expiration time of the service. The WAP protocol and the SMS service represent the foundation of concepts on which the electronic charge of services through portable communications devices is based. Using alternative methods of the mobile payment service like integrated applications on the portable communications device, using Near- Field Communications (NFC) technology or the Internet requires more time and larger amounts of transferred data which finally means high price of the service.
