WASHINGTON—InPhonic Inc. has deployed its patent-pending, two-way short message service technology in tandem with eBay to provide a real-time alerts and interactive response service called “Wireless Rebidding” that eBay subscribers can access for a flat monthly fee of $3.
Nextel Communications Inc. has become the first nationwide wireless carrier in the United States to offer its customers Wireless Rebidding for eBay, payable on the bills it sends them. Ebay subscribers who are not also Nextel customers can pay by credit card for the service, which is device and network independent.
