Visa in Hot Water Over SMS Alert Service

According to IntoMobile, Visa is being sued by a small US business for infringing a patent which covers the use of SMS messages used to alert spenders of transactions.

Charge Notification Services Corporation (CNSC) out of Miami, Florida has taken exception to the service that Visa and some of their partners have recently been offering.

Their patent covers charge card transaction authorization and/or notification in real-time via SMS to a mobile device.
