Hi guys and girls.
What do you think will they ever make BTC connected with our mobile numbers (so we could pay with it)?  Cool

I don't know about near future, but in India we have a bitcoin exchange, Zebpay (Android only) and in this app my mobile number is my unique ID (registration through mobile number only), all my bitcoin transactions and withdrawals are linked to my mobile number and I can send bitcoin to any Zebpay user by entering their mobile number, works like a bitcoin whatsapp wallet Grin

There is M-Pesa, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-Pesa

A mobile phone based payment system. Users can send and receive funds through SMS, no internet connectivity required. I don't think a mobile based, offline, SMS based transactions system would be feasible for bitcoins.

I just found out that there is something like this, is it because I lack information or is this a new system?
But I see it is a convenience because the transaction is enough to use sms only.
  Because we also know that by using sms clearly more simple. Hopefully can penetrate my country too, just waiting for the cellular provider willing to cooperate.
