Parking meters call you cellphone when time is up

The use of parking meters, which keep track of your the time limits for parking vehicles is quite common.

But now, a new type of parking meters are being installed, which not only keep track of the same thing, but will also call your mobile phones to let you know when the time limit is about to be crossed.
Then you can go there and buy more time. Or more conveniently, use your mobile phone itself to give your credit card details and buy more time.

Isn't it more convenient.
