NFC Regional Issues

[rogerinsg99]

Hello,

I'm looking to buy the Samsung S23+ from overseas but the website says

" **Due to regional issues, NFC payment may not be supported"

in my home country.

Has anybody experienced issues with NFC when bringing a mobile phone home from overseas ?

Grateful for any insights, thanks
Roger

What country do you reside in? What country is the device you're looking at from?

The phone is being shipped in from Hong Kong and I reside in the UK

Welcome to AC!

The Hong Kong s23+ shows it supports NFC so don't see why it wouldn't work in your country , which site you see this ?

I'm not sure about that site as I'm in the US , maybe any international or UK Samsung members can chime in , I still think you're going to be ok although buying Devices from another region you never know.
