SMS Payments

Members can pay each other by SMS. This works as follows: a member sends an SMS with a “pay” command including the destination user and the amount to be paid. For example, “pay +18999091065 20”.

As a result 20 Currents will be transferred to the member with this phone number. The identification of the destination user can also be done by using an email address and login name.

By sending the command “accountinfo” to +18458091064, you can retrieve your account balance and scroll through your last 2 transactions.
