Irish mobile phone company Meteor launched a new euro compliant web shop today.
Meteor Mall is a virtual shopping mall where subscribers can buy phones and SIM cards easily and securely on the web.
The web shop will be powered by mzone kiosk technology supplied by Network365.
Last year more than 200,000 mobile phones were bought by Irish people during the Christmas period and Meteor expects demand to be equally strong this year, particularly for Pay As You Go phones.
According to Mr Dermot O¹Brien, chief economist at NCB Stockbrokers, the use of the euro in mobile and electronic commerce should enhance its acceptability and may bring savings even for those outside the eurozone because increased price transparency.
"In addition, automated presentation of dual pricing on mobile devices will enable people to trade comfortably in euro while on the move," he said.
