Verizon Wireless today announced that its customers can send Starbucks eGift cards to one another from within the Verizon Messages application.
The application lets users pick a background, amount ($5, $10, or $25), and enter a short message. The eGift card can then be redeemed by the recipient at Starbucks locations, or added to an existing Starbucks card account. It is free to use the service, and the cost of the eGift card is added directly to the subscriber’s monthly bill.
Verizon Messages is preinstalled on most Verizon Wireless smartphones.
