Turkcell, Ticket Restaurant launch NFC meal vouchers

Tuesday, August 2, 2011

Turkcell has announced a partnership with Ticket Restaurant to pilot a meal payment program based on NFC technology.

Operating on the Cep-T Cuzdan mobile wallet service, the new system enables Turkcell employees to embed their Ticket Restaurant meal cards into their NFC-enabled SIM card, enabling them to pay for lunch with just a simple tap of a mobile phone.


The company’s own T20 handset will be used for the pilot, but some 50 other devices compatible with the Turkcell Cep-T Cüzdan Antenna may also be used.

The system will be available for use at some 20 restaurants and cafés during the pilot, according to Turkcell. [end]

Turkcell’s T11 and T20 phones, along with the BlackBerry Bold 9900, are compatible with Turkcell’s Cep-T Cüzdan mobile wallet, which enables contactless mobile payments, ticketing, loyalty, ID and, most recently, road toll payments.
