Barclays Pingit

[Keithw]

what do people think about using this instead of paypal

register then you can pay people using your mobile phone Number

MAYBE only android/iphone/blackbury type

in a text type way - no fees

also get paid same way

dont need a barclays account to pay but you do to receive

SOUNDS GOOD TO ME

goes straight into your account - text tells you when anyone has paid

heres mine ----BARCLAYS PINGIT- 07508 838118

Don't quite get it...how do I pay you?

[Keithw]

you go on your phone and click on barclays.co.uk

click on pingit download it tells you the things you need usual type details

so when its done -only need to do that bit once---- use form and type in person your paying,s mobby number

and amount up to 300 squid

they then send the person a text saying your mobby has put the amount in you bank

you pay price of you moby text - 10p is it

barclays underwrite the deal so if theres a prob your money is always safe/returned

but to all purposes isn't it just the same as paypal gift ?

Having just read the blurb it looks that way. Simply a vehicle to send and receive money.

I can't see anything for a failed business transaction, or in our case paying for a record and then not receiving it. It'd be good if dealing face to face with the seller but I certainly wouldn't use it for an "online" transaction unless there are safeguards like there is with a credit card if over £100???
