Sweden’s new SMS toilets ;p
p2pnet news view | Mobiles:- Cellphone owners at the famous Folkets Park in Malmö, Sweden, have a compelling new reason to make sure they get the number right.
Because there, texting messaging has taken on a new and important meaning .
Now, “loo-goers are requested to send a message to a number detailed on the toilet door,” says The Local.
Then the loo phones them back.
There’s a, “short wait before visitors receive a code, which they enter into a touch pad,” says the story, adding park manager Sverker Haraldssonsays he’s, “overjoyed by the new regime,” suitably approved by Sweden’s Data Inspection Board (Datainspektionen).
“I do not have anything against the SMS toilet,” he says.
“On the contrary I like it, it is a safe facility to avoid any sort of hassle and for all our tourists we do provide toilets that are free of charge,” he told The Local.
