Re: With Verizon? Want Samsung Pay?

Depends on where you live. I have att for personal and verizon for my work phone. I live in DFW and att is far superior to verizon here. I also travel and have not noticed any areas where verizon is superior to att except maybe NJ? Been with att since 1997.

Thank you..That makes more sense and answers the question. Which sucks...

Dude, I answered your questions 14 posts and 4 hours ago but you kept asking and saying the same, , but glad that finally got it.

American Express (at least their regular charge cards -- green, gold, platinum) is supported. It's just a pain in the neck to activate. When I tried to activate my Amex, I got an error message in the app that I needed to contact the issuer. I called Amex and, after going through several operators, none of whom understood what I was talking about (one actually thought I was trying to pay Samsung for something), I was connected to the right person. She had to authorize something on her end to make it possible for me to use my Amex with Samsung Pay. So, try calling Amex. It might be frustrating, but they will and can authorize Amex cards for Samsung Pay.

Amex was easy for me. They sent an email with a verification code and bam activated. Citi was the same, but they sent a text. Exact same experience as Apple and Android pay.

The S5 only has NFC it doesn't have the MST technology. That is what I'm talking about. The S5 can't use Samsung Pay, it doesn't have the hardware and technology necessary.

Samsung pay is supposed to work with the NFC in the Samsung smart watches. So it should work with NFC, at least theoretically. MST is much better, though.

So, if I was to get a Bank of America pre-paid card would it work , or no?

First use Samsung Pay @ Jewel Osco, worked like charm

Planning to buy an off-contract T-Mo Note 5 and put it on T-Mo prepaid ($30/month plan with 5GB 4G LTE data). Does Samsung Pay work on T-Mobile Prepaid? Will it also work on Cricket Prepaid?

 

[calicocat2010]

Or any pre-paid card at all?

Made another attempt at using Samsung Pay today using MST. It didn't work again. I have yet to get it to work. I even took off the very thin case that I have on the phone.

I may just have to break down and try the Samsung support line.

This is the feature that I was most excited about on the phone, then it took 5 months to get and now I can't get it to work.

Try and transfer a file using nfc. I narrowed it down to that and found out my phone was defective.

I happened to have a BoA credit card that I guess I've kept around in case of an emergency. I was able to register it without any difficulty. I tried Samsung Pay at a small locally owned store yesterday. The woman behind the counter said, "Ummm, I......don't think.....oh cool!"

It worked quickly and easily. That said, I don't think I will be using it often in the near future. I don't like to buy stuff on my credit card, and my bank, Wells Fargo, is not yet participating. Also, it is not much more convineient than pulling out a card and swiping it. As long as I have to carry a wallet for other reasons, I might as well carry my debit card.

Sure, that is a reason to use Samsung Pay. I'm personally not that concerned. The new chipped cards help, and liability is on the vendors/banks. When Wells Fargo gets on board, I might use the phone option more often.

Unfortunately NO...

So I just tried to use it for the very first time at a vending machine here at work and it wouldn't work. The card is citi and it was activated fine. Could it just be the vending machine card reader won't work with it? . Getting ready to try it at a Walmart this evening. Anyone else used at walmart?

Anyone being asked to provide the security code of their card when using Samsung Pay? I was asked today but I mistakenly provided the code for my Amex when I apparently used by BoA Visa. Seems like the transaction went through though. Just wondering why the security code would even matter..and whether or can just make one up next time.

Although I don't have a B of A, US Bank, or Citi Visa Card, I do have an American Express card which I was able to register with Samsung Pay. I just tested it for the first time at my local Safeway grocery store, and all I did was hold my S6 near the pay terminal and it instantly took the simulated card swipe! Pretty cool. Samsung Pay also was able to display all of my past credit card purchases on my Amex account from the app.
