Sweden looking at mobile postage payment system

The Swedish postal service, Posten AB, is said to be seriously considering replacing the traditional paper postage stamps with a new text massage based postage payment system. It's a rather simple concept (as long as you have a mobile phone). Customers will send a text payment and will then receive a code that will then be written on the letter or parcel. This code will provide proof of payment. The system is expected to begin this summer.

Nearby Denmark is also expecting to begin a similar program shortly.
