Re: Verizon and Samsung has not reached an agreement on Samsung Pay use
I received a callback from Verizon on my FCC Complaint. They claim that Samsung wanted to preload devices with the software, and they weren't comfortable with that. They will make SamPay available to customers when Samsung makes it available for download through the app store.
Any validity to this?
Total validity... question is who do they think they are to tell Samsung what they are not comfortable or not when the rest of carriers are all aboard?
Of course the phone must have some preloaded stuff for it to work, if not, anybody with the APKs (Samsung Pay and Samung Framework) can simply install it and begin to use it, not possible as of now if you don't have the preloaded stuff in the firmware, just ask users with Unlocked galaxies (S6, S6 edge, +, and Note 5) that have been trying to simply sideload the APKs, it simply won't work.
It's pure BS from their part, they will still need to allow for the firmware update to make the rest of the components be ready to allow the APK to work, so it won't make any difference to allow it to install it Over the air or from the Play Store. Simply BS and clear indications that they are feeling the pressure (finally people are taking matters on their hands) and are trying to look for an escape goat.
