Arkansans can now make payments to the state government over their mobile phones.
The mobile version of Arkansas.gov allows payments for three categories the state has categorized as "high volume": deposits to inmate trust accounts; payments for probation, parole supervision, and restitution; and property tax payments.
"With today's launch, we are excited to be the first state to offer integrated online services and secure payments through a user-friendly Web site that is optimized for mobile users," Claire Bailey, the state's chief information officer, said in a press release Thursday.
Arkansas also allows real-time game tagging through the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission and iPhone apps for two government Web sites.
