Paypal Offers Mobile Paypal and Text 2 Buy
by Darla
Paypal has launched its availability to send payments via your mobile phone.
According to the Paypal website:
You can use your mobile phone to securely send money and make payments within the U.S. and Canada. To use PayPal mobile, you must activate your mobile phone. Activating your phone requires setting a secure mobile PIN and confirming phone ownership.
You can send your payment either through text message to the PayPal mobile short code 729725 (PAYPAL) or by calling the automated voice system at 1-800-4PAYPAL.
You can also purchase items using Text to Buy or make donations using Text to Give.

I have yet to find a reference anywhere on the Paypal site to this SMS-based payment method. Could it be that they've temporarily removed it? I'm in the U.S., so it should be readily accessible when I'm logged in, but it doesn't appear anywhere right now, as far as I can tell.

Dave,
The link that I posted for PayPal Mobile should take you to the overview site.
