Mobilink Allows Its Users to Buy Pepsi Drinks with Mobile Balance
Mobilink has partnered with Pepsi to
launch new kind of vending machines, which will allow Mobilink users to get
their desired drinks from the machine while paying through their available
mobile balance. How does it sound? Interesting enough, isn’t it?
Here is how they are doing this:
Customer sends a blank SMS to a
short-code, which in return sends a unique PIN code to be entered into the
vending machine. After authorization the machine will get you the desired drink
while money from your Mobilink balance will get deducted.
Mobilink has started to deploy such
vending machines in Lahore and Islamabad, mainly in the universities. But we
believe the idea can replicated at various other locations and for other
consumer products as well.
Paying through Mobile Balance can
altogether become a new payment channel for variety of things, ranging from
Cinema tickets to website hosting payments.

short codes for your desired drink:
