Obopay, a service provider for payments via mobile phones, announced Thursday that its application for mobile payment services will be available for BlackBerry smartphones from Research In Motion.
The new Obopay application for BlackBerry users provides customizable access to Obopay's full suite of mobile payment services, which allows then to send and receive money, check their balance and payment history and purchase goods and services. The customized application gives users a simple mechanism to send money to individuals directly from their BlackBerry address book.
This service for Obopay users will be available this month from U.S. carriers and at www.obopay.com. As the first mobile payment service created exclusively for the mobile phone, Obopay works on any phone and any carrier.
