Online payment company PayPal said on Wednesday it was preparing to offer a service for consumers to make purchases or money transfers using simple text messaging via mobile phones.
The move by PayPal, a unit of online auctioneer eBay Inc. (EBAY.O: Quote, Profile, Research), marks a big step in bridging the worlds of e-commerce and the physical world of brick and mortar stores by giving consumers a pay as you go option via phones, analysts said.
