Rent a DVD by SMS

waycentral.com, a Singapore online DVD-rental company which lets you return the discs simply by dropping them into the mail with a prepaid envelope, is now latching on to the popularity of SMS to let customers confirm a rental with their mobile phone, according to The Straits Times.

"Customers still have to go online first to reserve a movie. WayCentral then notifies them once the disc becomes available.Customers who reply to the SMS by 3pm, will receive the disk at their home address by that evening".
