Thank you,

Well I ran the numbers.  My current plan is costing me $165/mo not including taxes and fees on Verizon.  ATT wants about $190/mo for 25 GB shared data or $161/mo for 20GB. 

My current plan has 500 Text for me and 1000 for the wife, 550 minutes and unlimited data for me and 2gb for the wife.

I normal data usage is about 20-25gb per mo with a peak of 50gb one time when I was out of town for two weeks with spotty wifi available.

Right now I never worry about how much data I use so not sure how much I might actually use vs a heavier WiFi usage.  That is if I was being careful about my usage it may actually drop.  Like I said right now I don't care and opt to use LTE when ever I need to update or download a large file (like MS Word).

The price at Verizon will increase to about $183/mo.  So for only $7 per month more I can get a 25Gb shared plan with unlimited voice and text for both of us.  Plus, Att now supports WiFi calling and texting. So there is another plus.

Verizon is sure making it easier to switch with all it's nonsense.

Can someone have an admin or moderator contact me about the forums and a ticket that was entered by internal Verizon Support.  The email address and user id associated with my forums account is actually a verizon chat rep. Long story.  thanks.  Email is: [removed]

Hey there! any "official" word on Verizon's Samsung Pay update?

[heythere123]

Totally disappointing to see that VERIZON refuses to activate such an awesome service like Samsung Pay! Do it...like NOW!!

[mama23dogs]

That isn't what they said....

Maybe when it actually comes, even the bones will have withered away.

new update for phone today. Says it will allow Samsung pay when it is in the Google Play store. now just waiting for that.

[pcconley]

Why would Verizon make Samsung Pay and Google Play item? That's not how the other carriers did it, was it?

[Jogle]

I just applied the update, but no Samsung Pay App available, and that includes the Google Play store. I see that Verizon still has some foolishness going on. This will hurt their sales of the Gear S2 and rightfully so. I have the S and didn't get it through Verizon and I'm glad that I didn't. I will get the S2, but probably not through Verizon because of their lack with Samsung Pay. That will always paint my image of them now.

They gave us an update that was supposed to for S Pay, but instead nothing but a cloud of dust.

Thanks again Verizon, but please provide us with Vaseline the next time you're going to screw us.

I have received no update in the past couple of weeks. So, now I'm curious, was this an update through the Settings--->System updates, or was it an update to the Samsung Push Service?

[CtK4949]

Its an update from verizon...

Good deal, I guess I'll just have to wait. I've tried to update, and it keeps saying I'm up to date. I guess it's an incremented rollout. Either way- doesn't matter until its available on Google Play, or Galaxy Apps.

[ktplucha]

same here. the update details even say it should download the Samsung Pay app and nothing appears.

[ktplucha]

UPDATE: I downloaded and installed the two mirror files from Samsung that another User posted above and it installed and I just tested it out and it worked.

[BenSalem]

did you actually but something with it?!?!

[BenSalem]

*buy

[ktplucha]

Yes I just went to buy something and I put my Amex card on Samsung Pay and it worked!!!!!! I am beyond stoked!!

[BenSalem]

@ktplucha if you don't mind me asking what kind of Amex do you have? I

have an amex serve and I can't add it.

[ktplucha]

According to my account online, its a "blue cash everday" card. I also have an S6.
