So there I was frequenting one of my favorite burger places in the Avenues today and lo and behold I notice these stickers on the meters. "What's this I say?" They have these big decals with a phone number and some new fangled ID number on the meter. I drop my "dime" in and walk on. Inside the burger place they had flyers for the meters. Apparently the city is trying a new system where you can dial this number and enter the meter number to automatically pay the meter. The way it sounds is they use the UCLID signal from your mobile to ID you and debit your account. (Now like most of us that already know how to emulate a number for Caller ID I see this as an open opportunity to get some free meter time.) :)

If anything since it is a new system I am sure you could park and merely discover that the system "glitched" as you "thought you made a payment" to the said meter.

Anyway if anyone has any ideas on this system I would be curious. They are trying it on a few lots on Geary St. It is being run by some company called "Verrus Mobile Technologies" (www.verrus.com)

I dropped a copy of the flyer I got in the photo gallery here: realhackers.tribe.net/photos/...ecccda1a
