Did not say the chip will make it not work. I said that one will get less than 100% reliability that it (Tap & Pay by phone) will work. But the point of my post is that if one has a credit card that works with Tap & Pay (by waving the credit card over the terminal) as well as inserting it in a...

So in spite of zero liability in case of fraud, in the name of SECURITY, one should be willing to look like a fool when Samsung Pay doesn't work, hold up the checkout line (5 attempts?), expose one's cellphone to being snatched or dropped, right? I guess the T&P on an enabled cc is not secure...

Tap and Pay by phone will be soon outdated as folks get the newer credit cards with a built in T&P chip. My new cc can be used to swipe on old terminals and gas pumps, inserted for chip readers, and Tap and Pay for new terminals with the T&P symbol. Why drag out my phone and turn it on and get...

Re: Getting AT&T Messages app working for two different lines on same account That should work. I wanted to set up the new Call Protect service on each of our lines, and had to create a separate username and password for my wife to access our account. Then we were able to see our calls to each...

If you increase your data plan online with AT&T, they give you the option right there to choose now, starting at the previous billing, or starting at the next billing. If you are not concerned about going over this billing period, start at the beginning of the next billing period to avoid...

Hope you don't get confused as to which holster you reach for...

As merchants are slowly transitioning to newer terminals, Samsung Pay and Tap and Pay have become hit or miss. I've given up trying. I still use Walmart Pay at Walmart, use the Exxon SpeedPass dongle (not the app) at an Exxon station, and my chipped credit card everywhere else. It seems to me...

Google "AT&T Deals". There is one to help with the cost of switching.

If on AT&T, and if using the native texting app, (Messages), go to its menu, settings, and switch off Advanced Messaging. See if that helps. Advanced Messaging is turned on by default, and it sucks.

Speed, can't comment as we don't stream. Most intensive data usage might be downloading a radar in motion image, and it is fine. Reliability and call quality are great, had one network outage (abt 4 hours) in western MD once during the past year (other carriers were down, too, must have been a...

Look at the coverage map carefully. AT&T is pretty solid in the Northeast.. Here in MD, it's great, and the only one of the four major carriers that has good coverage in western MD. Look into some of the deals AT&T may be offering to switch. You may want WiFi calling, and IIRC, AT&T only...

What folks on the MSAP are reporting on Howard Forums (AT&T), they are going WAY over their plan without throttling. Haven't read any posts where one has been throttled on MSAP. I believe it will eventually happen, otherwise all savvy customers will just select the 1 GB plan and burn all the...

Most likely. On AT&T, Advanced Messaging is enabled by default on the native texting app with the latest software upgrade. It works when sender and receiver both have Advanced Messaging and both are on an AT&T network with AT&T service. It's very limited, however, and seems to me to slow the...

Seems to be a common issue on phone returns. Have read numerous posts where the returned phone was "lost". So much so, that if I ever had to return a phone, I'd hand carry it to a corporate store and get a signed receipt for it.

When it works, it's great. When it doesn't, it's very frustrating. But those 15 seconds one saves using SP over a cc with a chip can be critical in a busy day.
