Mobile barcodes permit conference entry

Visitors to trade shows in Australia can use barcodes sent to their mobile phones via text messages as entry tickets, reports ZDNet.

"When visitors submit their registration details, they are sent a confirming email and then a barcode by SMS to their mobile phones. When they arrive at the show, they simply retrieve the barcode from their Message Inbox and have it scanned at the door," said Jo-Anne Kelleway, managing director of Info Salons Australia".
