Text messaging (or SMS) 777-PARK (777-7275), which is by far the simplest and quickest method to pay for parking. The SMS service is powered by our wireless partner, CellOne.“CellOne is proud to be the network of choice for EasyPark Mobile”, said Frank Amaral, CellOneCEO. “More and more people on the island are turning to their mobile devices to take care of their everyday needs.”To start a parking session using SMS, customers simply text start followed by the city and zone codes. For example, to start a parking session for Hamilton street parking (City 01 Zone 01), the user would send the text “START 01 01” to 777-7275. To end the parking session the user simply sends the text “STOP”. A confirmation text is sent to the user for both starting and ending a parking session, in addition to optional end of parking session SMS reminders.2.
