Sounds as though in Europe and the US sending out an SMS to access a code is still only the real viable option for the time being, however I wouldn't say that RFID tags are still "maaany years off". There have been successful pilot projects here in France combining RFID enabled telephones and the metro system.
I recently worked on a project in Japan where QR codes have been the norm for many years now. The user simply takes a photo of the QR code and this is used to activate a download to their telephone. For example, at bus stops, a user can photograph the QR code printed on the timetable in order to download the timetable to their telephone. This isn't perhaps terribly relevant to your project, but it is interesting to see how Japanese mobile technology is evolving as it is much more advanced than here. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
