Activated PayPal Mobile
I'm sure everyone will be blogging about this today; however, PayPal Mobile is such an awesome idea that I just have to comment.
Now, you can use your phone to send money to anyone else with a phone. Someone owe you $5? They can send a payment to your phone with their phone. You will also be able to buy things you see in stores as well. Read more about it here.
I just completed the phone activation process which was really easy (and pretty cool). Here are some screens of the steps:
1. Add your mobile phone number to your PayPal account
2. Create a PIN
3. Set up a confirmation call
4. Make the confirmation call
5. Success!
If only PayPal Mobile could use your phone to call people who owe you money. Now THAT would be cool.
UPDATE [3/24/2006]: I received my first PayPal Mobile payment. Read more about it here.
