Competitors may emphasize vehicle-, city-, or time-specific messaging not highlighted in PayByPhone's data (e.g., terms like car, city, time, start, end)
Some competitors highlight messaging around 'free' or 'mobile' benefits not explicitly emphasized in the available data
While PayByPhone supports SMS or push alerts, competitors sometimes foreground different notification strategies; messaging clarity could be further aligned with market expectations

Comments on PayByPhone for Android

★★★★☆ Mark Wastnidge · Aug 28, 2026

Easy to use, just get the right location numbers

★★★★★ James Yutadco · Sep 1, 2026

Go get the Apps and pay through your phone with the location number.it's so convenient compared to those frustrating parking kiosk.

★★★★☆ John Donnelly · Sep 3, 2026

Usually the coverage is very slow in the areas I have used payphone

★★☆☆☆ Chris V · Aug 25, 2026

Charged what was essentially 60p in "junk fees" by this app to park my car 20p for a single text you would send as a parking reminder? You cannot seriously tell me with a straight face that your company will be 20p out of pocket for sending me a text message. oh yeah and as there is another text sent...another 20p. Then a 10p convenience fee? Are you joking? You don't make enough money already? Something needs to be done about all these rogue parking agents. Shady practices all round.

★★☆☆☆ Christina D (italiansoxgirl25) · Aug 28, 2026

Google Pay not accepted. Why? Trying to add a card, says it can't be verified. Would be nice if you actually had an app that functioned.

★★☆☆☆ Owen Seaton · Aug 24, 2026

Works fine, but you either disallow notifications (removing a useful function to remind you to extend your parking) or endure it popping up to remind you it exists whether you're using it. If I wanted text notifications, I would have enabled text notifications. If my parking isn't about to expire, I don't need reminding that I can extend it
