BURNABY, B.C. -- Info Touch Technologies Corp., owner of the TIO Network, has forged an agreement with MetroPCS Wireless Inc. to enable MetroPCS customers to pay their wireless bills in cash, through self-serve automated bill payment and financial services kiosks powered by Info Touch's TIO network.
MetroPCS customers do not need to know their account number to pay their bills with TIO. All they need to know is their phone number and zip code and they can conveniently and securely view their account balance and/or [image-nocss] make a payment on their MetroPCS account. Payments are made by feeding the cash directly into the TIO kiosk's note acceptor. Once the cash is accepted, the TIO kiosk then uses an Internet link to ensure timely posting of the payment.
Users can go through the step-by-step software guided screens in either English or Spanish and can either print or email their receipt to the email address of their choice.
