M-commerce involves using mobile devices to transact, communicate, and entertain through wireless networks. It combines e-commerce and wireless web capabilities. Key features of m-commerce include cash deposits/withdrawals, third party deposits, retail purchases, prepaid top-ups, cash transfers, and bill payments. Mobile devices must support barcode scanning, display, and data transmission for point-of-sale transactions. Technologies used include GSM, 3G, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, SMS, and MMS. Information is provided by global electronic parties and data synchronization networks. Transactions are facilitated through infrastructure involving multiple steps. Applications include advertising, in-store navigation, comparisons, payments, publications, ticketing, and catalogs. Adv
