If you've a hankering for one of Subway's finest come noon-time and find yourself in the 212 or 646 area (New York City) it's only a text away. All you need to do to get started is set yourself up at the Subway Now site with a shop near you, your credit card details, set up a list of numbered favorite sandwiches, and get your hunger ready. Ordering is done by simply texting "menu" to Subway's shortcode and then your favorite list will be returned, reply with your chosen item and you'll get confirmation and a pickup time. Where's the benefit in all this texting you ask? When you arrive at your chosen locale, you can skip the line, the wait, and even having to fork out any cash as it gets charged right to your card.

I hope they roll this out to other locales too, we're probably the last of the upgrade list being in Dundee, Scotland but I have skipped on going to Subway a few times because the queue is too big.
i would definitely use this
yes the line is always too long
and they take forever
this would be awesome
now if we could only get one with a damn drive thru in los angeles
thats where theyre really missing out on business
wow, thats pretty awesome
Why is this limited to just NYC? If you pick your local store, it seems this could easily be rolled out nationwide... I'd definitely use the if it were offered in my area!
Just because the rest of the world doesn't mean we are not busy too. Subway, roll this out!
Wow no more posting before 10am PST.
