Bank of America's online customers will soon be able to use their cell
phones and smart phones to check account balances, pay bills and transfer
funds.

The bank said today it's launching secure mobile banking for its 21 million
online banking customers. The service will be launched in Tennessee
beginning in March and will be rolled out to other cities across the
country through mid-year.

Customers who have mobile Internet access through Verizon Wireless,
Sprint-Nextel, Cingular and T-Mobile will be able to access the new
service. Customers will also be able to use a wide variety of mobile phones
and devices, including Motorola, Nokia and LG handsets or smartphones, such
as the Palm Treo, RIM BlackBerry or Motorola Q.
