Meter Messaging

Jessie Atkin posted a blog on Digital Landing! Read about the parking meters in France that can send messages to cell phones!

There are some text messages you just don’t want to receive. Those drunk messages from people who never should have gotten your number, those television updates from two years ago when you entered a contest you saw during a commercial. Well, the French can top all of those.

Now, certain French parking meters, will text you when you’ve over stayed your welcome in any spot. They’ll let you know how much you owe the attendant who has also been notified by said parking meter and is now on their way to make that fine a very real punishment. Lets hope there’s a five minute grace period, but when in France, don’t push it.
