This is used to collect payments - although the beta group is free. I have a UK mobile still but wary about giving away my details in case this is a con. Anyone any thoughts as it would be a pretty good service?

I still have my Virgin, well my Mum has it and uses it once every few months.
I would be interested in hearing from anybody who tries it.
