At first I thought it was a revolutionary way of shopping, shopping by text. But after thinking deeper, it’s just a way shopping via SMS using your cellphone. This is the new shopping system introduced by ShopText of New York, which each product ads found in magazines will come with a text-message code. If you wanna purchase that item, just send a short text message using your cellphone to ShopText. Buyers must have a pre-setup of your account with ShopText by calling up ShopText and give them your details and credit card number. And the buyer’s card will be charged once they’ve made a purchase by sending the text code to ShopText. This implementation is to help magazines in trying to prove their effectiveness as marketing vehicles. Well, another strong competitor to the online shopping! But this way of shopping will put your bank account at risk of to be emptied just by your thumbs!
