Verizon Wireless won’t be a part of Samsung Pay

[yourphonemyphone]

Yes.

Sorry... I was not actually asking a question. Just trying to be sarcastic about that fact.

The difference between samsung pay and android pay(Google's new payment system inspite of having Google wallet) is that Samsung pay will be able to be used at 90% of merchants because of mst whereas android pay can only be used at nfc capable terminals. Samsung pay is the superior payment method with more advanced technology.

Becauxe Samsung Pay does what no other does, including Apple Pay. It works with every type electronic payment terminal used anywhere by any business large or small. In other words the business doesn't have to have a specific type of new termainal.

Because Samsung Pay works with all existing payment terminals as well as the new ones. Because they are not charging banks and sellers to pay a fee to accept Samsung Pay.

Oops! Sorry for the double post.

When I read the article I said to myself ... No way... It was a random tweet from a random csr at Verizon, about a product that isn't out on a device that isnt out. Sounds like a lot was made of a little.

Most likely verizonnis not an official partners, but they don't need to be. It is carrier independent, so Verizon's position on the subject is moot.

And for a post a few back.. Isis became softcard and Google absorbed softcard, so its no longer.

Wallet vs Android pay... Wallet is for person to person payments (think PayPal) and Android pay is for real world payments. At least that is how they will be eventually.

and how does Samsung the Ferengi profit from all this?

Can Verizon iPhone 6 and 6 Plus use Apple Pay?

Yes because Verizon can't do **** with Apple ... Apple shows them middle finger and says just be a dumb pipe and we will take care of the rest. I wait for a day when Android OEMs treat these useless carriers the same and I know that won't happen.

Meh ... If you are mostly in a city all carriers are fine except may be Sprint.

Well i guess i am the only person verizon treats well lol. I have had them give me a discount without asking because i bought a phone and the next day it went on sale, they refunded the difference to my account.

I have never had a custo rep be rude.

Nit trying to fanboy Verizon, just stating my experience.

As for Samsung Pay, i will never use it just because using my phone as a debit card isn't my thing. But i can see why some people would be upset if its not allowed.

As for the Verizon logo, my droid Turbo is the first phone in years that doesn't have it, and it didnt make any difference lol.

Oh yeah you aren't being a fan boy -- I mean they definitely aren't all bad. Any carrier can have great or horrid customer service. Reps definitely vary from store to store. There are some T-Mobile stores I know to avoid and others I know that are wonderful / hassle free .

I glanced over this thread, so I may have missed small details, and I realize not everyone wants to root their phone......However, does anyone think it would be possible to sideload Samsung Pay?

I'm assuming Samsung will open this up to non-Samsung devices and I did successfully sideload Google Wallet back in the day.

There is a running thread on VZW forums about this and alot of ppl who are not pleased. If we go to that site and voice our opionions, maybe we can get a definitive answer and possible get it on our device. I also wrote on Twitter to Samsung and Verizon.

I think we should chill and wait till it rolls out. It will be fine. Think positive.

Well since the confirmation is from Samsung via Twitter I would say it is more confirmed versus a rumor that we need to wait for.

 

[AdamHLG]

Samsung sent out a tweet confirming this service will not be on Verizon? I didn't see that. I saw 2 tech sites report on it. If what you said happened I guess things don't look so bright.

From the OP - Verizon Wireless won’t be a part of Samsung Pay - SamMobile.

Within the Article at the bottom it shows the Tweet from Samsung. I took a snapshot below.

This is what VZW said on the matter.
We are in the process of evaluating Samsung Pay and we will keep our customers updated on any news regarding the service.
