Pay as you go mobile on the net

It seems that nearly every day some new technology comes along which makes the mobile internet better. This week I’m hearing about a phone technology company which is trialing some patented technology which enables you to shop online using your mobile phone.

The company, which is called 2ergo is working with a bunch of online ticketing companies before going for a formal launch of the technology later in 2007.

They’ve developed something which they’re calling 2safeguard. This makes searching, buying and paying for things via your mobile phone secure, and because it’s technology which is independent of any mobile network, it can be used worldwide.

At the moment, people trialling the software can purchase tickets, ringtones, downloaded music and other music-related merchandise like posters via their mobiles.

The company claim that they have created technology which will let you surf the internet, do your shopping and then pay for it securely. They predict a huge growth in the next few years in people paying for things via the mobile internet.
