With an SMS to 13032, consumers will be able to do their shopping in stores for three hours when retail opens. The application, however, is ready to enter our daily lives.
The service, which apparently operates on a trial basis, anticipates how we will move once retail opens. So if we want to go shopping in the stores not supermarkets. We will have to send an SMS to the new five-digit number 13032, which will essentially function as a “timer”, since we will have a specific time at their disposal and we will be able to do it only once.
A second message will not be able to be sent. Permission will not be granted.
We are reminded that this five-digit number will only apply to purchases in retail stores and not to supermarkets, to which consumers will continue to go by sending the code 2 to 13033.
Pierrakakis: We are ready.
Minister Kyriakos Pierrakakis spoke to Parapolitika Fm about the five-digit number 13032 in the event that retail will open. In a radio interview with Parapolitika Fm he said, “The tool is ready, there is a very strong possibility that it will be implemented in retail as discussed. We will see in the course whether and how it will be implemented. “One has to see what is happening with the epidemiological curve in Attica, and all over the country, so all this is evaluated every day, every moment,” he stressed.
Georgantas: We will find solutions for retail.
Also, the Deputy Minister of Digital Government, George Georgantas, stated in the First Program of the NRA that “Several solutions are being investigated. We are trying to find a solution specifically for retail so that there is no repetitive use of sms.” Asked about the possibility of retail opening on March 15 and whether the 13032, SMS is ready, he said: “We are ready when the infectious disease specialists give the green light. We will provide technical possibilities but the citizens should not have in mind how to get round them. Yes, 13032 is among the measures “.
