In many countries,the cell phone has become the new wallet.Do you think this is able to replace cash,checks or plastic?.Would this be the new wave of making payment?. How willing are you to accept this?.

That seems rather dangerous to me! I've phone cell phones laying around so many times, it makes you stop and think about what kind of value could be attatched to them! I suppose it it became the ONLY way to buy anything was through your cell phone I'd just have to accept it, but some of us can not have our money in 'concept' mode. At least I can't! LoL. I have to be able to visualize my actual cash or else I start to make bad decisions.

I think that is a very valid point. It is in fact why many people have gotten into credit card trouble. It is not really money to them.

Hi Joe, No I wouldn't like that as I don't use my phone a lot and there are so many cell phone been stolen I don't think it would take off, I'd rather use my phone to call people and recieve calls, and my money stays in my purse. Tamara

No, I am not sure exactly what you mean by the cell phone being the wallet, unless you are talking about electronic payments. I have a hard time even using my cell phone as a cell phone, let alone making it be anything else as well.

There lots of way already that you can use your cell phone to pay for things. Pretty common and pretty easy, lots of kids games sites do these and get lots of complaints from parents from their children doing it without there knowledge.
