NFC on Galaxy note i717 ATT

[jangleton13]

Haven't been able to get my Android Beam to work on my Galaxy note (ATT i717). Spoke to Sammy who said that ATT has disabled this feature. The gentlemen i spoke to from Samsung said that if i called ATT they would refer me back to Samsung and say that the manufacturer was to blame. Can anyone help on this? Maybe Android Central can do some digging? Thanks
