The city governement of Oslo is very positive to such a solution and it is implemented on all public on-street parking. Each parking area has a unique number (parking zone) with is't own billing regime. That is, in the central areas the price is higher, than out of town. The parking is started by sending a text message with only the number for the zone to the companies short number. Default parking time is 3 hours. 15 minutes before ended parking time a "15 minutes left notification" is sent out. One can then terminate the parking or renew the parking by sending in another text message. Very nice for people sitting in business meetings. The system has a complete web solution such each customer can review his/hers parking history etc. The system is integrated towards VISA and Mastercard billing platform. Every parking operator has a bar code scanner such they are scanning the sticker each user has in the wind shield telling that he/she is using the mPay parking system.
