When you need to park in Sandwell you can now use the PayByPhone app to make it faster, easier and more convenient. No more searching for change or a machine, you don’t even have to get out of your car to use it!

PayByPhone enables you to not only pay using the app but also to pin your location once you have parked so that you can easily find your car when you return. You can even locate parking areas before you set off using the maps feature of the app.

If you think you are going to run out of time you can extend your parking session from your phone or smartwatch, without having to return to your car. You can also get a text reminder when your parking session is about to expire, and receipts can be emailed to you if you need them for expenses.

PayByPhone has over 17 million registered users world-wide and supports many languages, including English, French, Spanish, Punjabi, Chinese, Welsh, Dutch, German, and Italian.

The service provides live agents 24/7 via a local rate phone number, enabling motorists without a smart phone to use it just as easily.

For organisations with fleets of vehicles or groups of employees that need to park you can set up a corporate account. This way many users and vehicles can be billed through a single account providing companies with easy management of transportation-related costs.

Once each employee is set up on the account, they can call the automated line (IVR) and input a location code and duration, and select their vehicle from the list of plates. The account administrator has access to reports that detail usage and break down activity by user.

For more information about corporate accounts or to register for the service visit https://paybyphone.co.uk/business/corporate_accounts.

To use PayByPhone just download the free the iOS or Android app and register. It doesn’t take long but if you haven’t registered you can still start parking immediately without an account.
