About
Founded in 2005 and based in Seattle, Washington, TextPayMe was an SMS payment service that let users send money to other people using cell phone text messaging. Users could send funds to anyone in the US with an SMS-capable phone by texting 'pay amount phonenumber' to a designated number, with each payment confirmed via a user-created PIN. Transactions could be funded from a bank account or credit card, with a $500 monthly sending limit. The TextPayMe team joined Amazon in July 2006 and the service was folded into what became Amazon Payments.
