I am not totally sure on this, but if the city is not listed, I don't think you can book or make payments with the iPhone. I wish it were different, :) Since I've nevered booked with the app, I don't know when you're shown the fare. I do know that it is a very popular app and they are adding new cities often. I have spoken to the person from Taxi Magic on Twitter, and they have accepted my suggestions to expand, but have not said when they will have my city. For those interested, you can contact them on Twitter at: @taximagic
