Mobile phones become hotel keys

Mobile phones replace hotel keys

Check-in and check-out and even opening the door to your room -- a mobile phone is the only key you need at a Stockholm hotel conducting a pilot project of new mobile applications, the participating companies said Tuesday.

This is actually pretty cool

Wonder when we can see something like this being implemented in S.A

And when your battery dies, and the charger is in the house/hotel?

Then you sleep in the corridor

Or more specific to South Africa & its high crime rate - when your phone gets hijacked they have access to all your belongings. You don't often hear someone being robbed for their hotel key, cellphones on the other hand .. ?

It's happening at a lower level - entering/exiting complexes. It only requires a step further!

Hi, I lost my key.

That will be $923 for the replacement.
Oh, never mind, I'll go sleep in the street.

All my stuff has been stolen from my room, and now the insurance company does not want to replace the contents, because there was no sign of forced entry.

Sorry, this door requires version 7756.23 with service pack 65 to work.

The problem is that people loose hotel keys way to easily - but not their phones. Smart move.
