T-Mobile will start its Mobile Wallet pilot on Monday, October 22nd or at least TMOnews‘ sources suggest so. According to them, the Magenta carrier’s trial will begin in Salt Lake City, Utah and Austin, Texas with select group of customers owning Samsung Galaxy S III or Galaxy S Relay 4G smartphones with a special SIM card.
Each of the participants will get a special offer for up to $25 in “ISIS cash,” $10 of which comes with the ISIS activation and another $15 if you convert the ISIS cash card to a reloadable prepaid card.
It’s also worth adding that the promo image says that “device [used with the ISIS Mobile] cannot be rooted.” Not that we didn’t expected this…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do.
In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
