Abstract
Media enhanced mobile payments enable a user to make payments and payment requests that include additional media. The user may transmit a text-based message that may be used to update an account associated with a recipient. Additional media, such as a personalized voice recording, may be acquired by a host from the user, and may be associated with the text-based message. The additional media may be transmitted to the recipient identified in the text-based message. In some aspects, the text-based message may be a short messaging service (SMS) text message. Further aspects may include the host connecting to the user via a telephone call to record the personalized voice recording.
