Transfer Money to Family Abroad
August 17th, 2007 MobileFreak
With your cell phone, of course.
If you have relatives in Mexico, Brazil, or anywhere else in Central or South America, it’s quite simple to send them money using your mobile phone. And all for much cheaper that the traditional wire services such as Western Union.
First, sign up for PayPal (aff) if you haven’t already. Paypal, which is now owned by eBay, is used by thousands of people every day to make purchases online, and to send money to friends and family.
PayPal offer two ways to send money. One is through text messaging, and the other is through filling out the appropriate forms on the mobile web.
To transfer money via a text message, send the text message to 729725 (PAYPAL). Include the amount and the recipient’s phone number or email in the subject of your message. PayPal then either calls or text messages you back to confirm the transfer. Even if your friend’s phone is not activated for PayPal Mobile, they will provide instructions on how to activate it.
To send money from the mobile web, simply visit www.paypal.com (aff) from your mobile browser and complete the form to transfer money.
