Call a ball [WMMNA]

If you feel like playing football, you send an SMS to CALL A BALLs communication center, giving the kiosk's number, which then sends a return message authorizing the dispensing of a ball.

Thanks to the RFID chip embedded in the ball, the center knows at all times where the ball is.

It sounds like the dream of every would-be football player: to have access to a ball, no matter where you happen to be! CALL A BALL could make this dream come true. These ball dispensers could be placed wherever candy or drinks machine are now found: in subway stations, on street corners, in or in front of restaurants.
