TXT to Park

Pay for your parking straight from your TelstraClear mobile.

Needing loose change is now a thing of the past with TXT-a-Park. You can now pay for metered parking in locations throughout New Zealand by sending a text message from your mobile.

Look for the silver pay-and-display parking meters, which will let you use TXT-a-Park, and with the payment billed directly to your account, it's so easy.

What does it cost?

As well as the usual parking fees, you will be charged a 50c transaction fee for using this service. This transaction fee is the same for one or two hour parking.

Example
One hour's parking at $4 an hour would be charged at $4.50
Two hour's parking at $4 an hour would be charged at $8.50

How do I use TXT-a-Park?

Every TXT-a-Park machine has full instructions, but simply

1. Press the Text Parking button
2. Costs and TXT codes for one or two hour parking will display
3. Using Text, send the code displayed for the parking you want to short code 7275 (PARK)
4. The machine will display the time you'll be paid up to, and ask for confirmation. (You will be charged when you press the confirmation button)
5. A receipt will then print, which you need to display on your dashboard, and a confirmation TXT will be sent to your mobile
   If there's a problem with TXT-a-Park, the machine will display "Text Parking is unavailable - please use coin". It will also tell you if the transaction was unsuccessful.
