Ah! I wondered about that. Yet, pay-by-cell phone doesn't. Weird. They do have pay-by-cell for parking here in London, however. UIVMM none of the pay-by-phone (for parking) systems in the UK actually take the payment directly from one's mobile bill / mobile PAYG credit - they all require one to register with the provider (e.g. https://www.myringgo.com/) first - which includes giving them your credit/debit card details to store with your account - and then call them in order to pay for parking. |
