mTicketing
What is mTicketing?
mTicketing can be used for the purchase of any ticket based service such as railway travel, airline travel and entertainment events. Additionally, services such as Hotel Reservation and Car Reservation are also available via this secure application. Therefore, a frequent travel user can browse an airline's schedule, book and pay for flights, select and book hotels and reserve a car with various car rental agencies.
The end-user registers for the service on the service provider's website. Very importantly, m-Ticketing can be downloaded to the mobile phone over-the-air (OTA) and does not require the phone's SIM to be modified, nor does it require specialised installation procedures or a visit to an office. The application is self-installing and requires no user training or support. The application is menu driven and is simplicity in terms of use.
Using the m-Encrypt technology, payment is also transacted on the phone in a completely secure environment.
Dependent on the requirements of the client, the virtual ticket can be presented as a bar code which can be scanned at a railway station or on checking into a hotel. Additional services and features can be automatically added at anytime and the upgraded application can be downloaded OTA to the end-user phone. m-Ticketing will work on virtually any mobile phone.
