ok, I guess not that many use creditcards, but everone has a debitcard and that and everyone is using them.

?In Europe,? Oiem said, ?you can use your phone to buy a Coke.? < sure you can but how many is doing that? Easier to just use the debitcard again... same as with parking, movie tickets etc etc, you can use a phone but you use the good old card as it's easier...

Yes its hard to get in exsactly what you meant in a interview like this. It would be to much to read and booring if I where to explain everything in there

Yes many have a credit card, but its fare from the majority. And even the once that have one dont use it much. They use debit cards for the most. Compared to the US its hardly anyone. That is what I tried to say there.

As for the buying a coke. I totally agree with you, it would be much easier to use cash OR your debit card, BUT that was not the point there. The point where that in Europa it is possible to do and that is how fare the sms billing system has come in Europa.

And to everyone, thanks for the great comments. We try hard to stay on top and we will continue to do so. We are here for you guys, so please feel free to contact me or anyone of us here at Mansion if you have any questions or suggestions !
