Vodafone to sell phones like Coke
Remember the news article posted earlier this week, entitled Vending Machines Sell IPods to Go? Well, a cellular phone company, Vodaphone, is providing select pay-as-you-go products by way of vending machines in the UK. Seems quite convenient, and the phones and SIM cards will be quite secure in the machine as it has the capability to send alerts out when the machine is being tampered with, or if stock is low.
Each QuickPhone kiosk will offer a choice of three phones for sale, for between 30 pounds and 60 pounds ($53.47 and $106.95), as well as SIM (subscriber identity module) card-only packs for 5 pounds ($8.91). The first two phone-spouting machines will be put up in Vodafone stores in Manchester, the company told Silicon.com. If all goes well, the operator will look to expand the scheme to other locations, potentially including airports, ferry terminals and shopping centers. Through a 3G or GPRS connection, the phone vending machines will be able to report stock levels and provide alerts, if they have been tampered with.
