intomobile.com — No company can ignore mobile and sandwich chain Subway is not an exception. The company has launched a service called Subway Now to allow New York City residents to make sandwich orders via text message. In order to use the service, users need to register on a special website where they should enter their credit card information, address, etc.

Hmm. Subway here in NZ has had this for 4 - 5 years. Works pretty well, stroll into the place and your order is waiting.

Not a bad idea entirely,I just really wonder how secure using your credit card over sms is.

See above, you store your credit card online in a profile then use some sort of authentication over SMS - part of which I assume is your phone number.
