Canada Telecoms Launch Mobile Payment Service

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the can-i-request-money-all-day dept.

GregDz11 writes to inform us that Canada's three main wireless companies will be launching a service that allows customers to send, request, and receive money via their mobile phones. "The service, called Zoompass, will be managed by Enstream, a joint venture the three carriers first established in 2005, when it was called Wireless Payment Services, to investigate the potential of mobile commerce. [...] Money can be drawn from an account the user sets up or from their credit card. Each withdrawal will cost 50 cents from the account, or 3.5 per cent of the transaction if from a credit card. (As a result, sending dollar amounts under $15 are actually cheaper to do using a credit card.)"

    Will I be able to purchase a blowjob from a nigger prostitute using micro payments.

    The most I'm willing to pay for a nigger blowjob is $5.00, and paying by cell phone would make the whole process much more convenient.

      Actually YES! You can definitely buy a nigger prostitute using your cell phone its called MNWS(Mobile Nigger Whores Service). The best news is that they will be charging by the inch of your dick so chances are you will get paid for each blowjob! Isn't technology great?
