Londoners to start paying by phone next year

Some London shoppers will soon be able to use their mobile phones to pay for purchases. Several hundred Barclaycard customers will be issued with customised Nokia handsets next year. These phones will be compatible with Barclaycard's “OnePulse” card technology, enabling users to pay for purchases up to £10 simply by putting their phone on a special reader. The mobiles will use the contactless communication system that’s been created for Transport for London's Oyster travel card. [Source: Guardian.co.uk]
