T-Mobile Start Ticketless check-in with MMS

ticketless.jpg Slashphone reports that T-Mobile is offering ticketless check-in with MMS.

"From March 9, the opening day of CeBIT, passengers of the second-largest German domestic airline DBA will be able to complete the check-in and boarding procedures for their flight using their mobile phone. The only requirement is that passengers must have an MMS-enabled phone.

Anyone who registers for the new service in the online flight reservation will receive his or her boarding card around three hours before take-off, in the form of a 2D barcode sent to his or her mobile handset. Using this barcode, dba customers can go directly to the departure gate, where the barcode is read by a scanner. "
