Visa and Google have teamed up with Nokia to deliver a neat new service on their new Android phone that alerts users when a credit card has been used.

The credit card Company claims that Nokia will soon start selling the 6212 phone, with an electronic reader that allows users to make payments and money transfers. According to Reuters Visa has said it is still developing its application to allow in-store "contactless" payments by cell phone for Android.

But it said these services --- already common in countries such as Japan -- may not take off for years in Australia because retailers will need to install new card readers and cell phones with the corresponding technology. 

 Visa has also said  that it would offer transaction alerts and discount offers from merchants to Android users. The application will also work with Google maps and location technology to help users find nearby cash machines and stores where special offers are available.

Visa said that for the first few months, the application will be available just to Android phone users.
