Samsung Pay on Verizon network

[AAM63]

When Verizon would announce the support to Samsung Pay? 

[TheHammerBro]

yeah and unfortunately Samsung pay won't work if KNOX trips on you phone so until a good rooting solution comes around we're at Verizon's mercy

Do any of your cards have a chip in them?  If so, you cannot use S Pay anyway since the terminal will demand the physical card to read the chip.

[TheHammerBro]

You really haven't been to the site yet have you...

"Most if not all EMV terminals also include a standard mag stripe reader (MSR). Because of that, any standard mag stripe card that is loaded into a LoopPay device can be transmitted, read and processed through that standard reader. Consumers can also store their chip cards in LoopPay devices today and use them at any terminal with an MSR where EMV is not active. EMV card track data contains service code 201 which prevents those cards from being read by the standard mag stripe reader when an EMV reader is present and active. So chip cards cannot be transmitted to the MSR on an EMV terminal. At some point, issuers may issue to LoopPay users dynamic cards with service code 101 to make these cards work at any terminal (EMV or mag stripe only terminals)."

This is only true if your card requires it. If you have a card without a chip, what are they going to do, not sell it to you?

No, not if your card requires it but if your card has the chip AND the terminal reads the chip it will require the physical card UNLESS it also accepts contactless payment.

If your card has the chip AND the terminal reads chips it WILL NOT accept a magnetic swipe, though, from that chipped card. A card without a chip does not fall into this category because, well, it does not have a chip.

Problem is, I don't get to choose whether or not my card has a chip. My card issuer gets to decide that, and it is unlikely I will EVER receive another card WITHOUT a chip as my current cards reach their expiration date(s). In fact, I have already received some cards BEFORE the expiration date on my current cards simply to give me a card with a chip in it.

[rcschnoor]

The pertinent word(s) being "may issue". Whether or not they do so has not yet been determined and "may" have something to do with fraudulent activity with non-chipped cards.

In another matter, at some point Verizon "may" accept Samsung Pay.

[TheHammerBro]

but none of that is reason on why i shouldn't be allowed to use samsung pay

[pcconley]

I have the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge and have been using LoopPay (bought by Samsung and renamed Samsung Pay). I was excited to hear and have been waiting for Samsung Pay to work from my phone. As it sounds, it may be a while.

I was also excited about the new Samsung Gear S2 wearable as it too was supposed to incorporate Samsung Pay. Well, if Verizon is not going to allow it on the phone, I doubt I'll be seeing it on the wearable. So, I guess I won't be buying the wearable. I'm saving money already!

I have tweeted once to Verizon and got a response about using google pay

I tweeted this morning and haven't heard back.

I have mentioned my piece on another thread but I'm also gonna say it again.

Please Verizon, please don't abandon your thousand customer count just because you're unwilling to support Samsung Pay.  I seriously don't understand the issue.  Lets do some examples shall we?

Okay I have a sensitive document on my Verizon Galaxy S6 Edge phone......omgosh someone stole my phone, am I  gonna blame and sue Verizon because someone got that sensitive document? (probably not)

Okay I have Google Wallet where I have $100 dollars in my Google Account as well as my Credit Card data....omgosh my phone got stolen, am I gonna sue Google and Verizon because someone got a hold of my money and my credit card information? Again probably not.

Samsung Pay is coming to the US on September 28, it allows us to store our Credit Card Data and even with the swipe up button and or our thumbprint which yes can be hacked...someone uses our phone to make purchases and its on the Verizon network..........will customers sue and blame Verizon because SamsungPay is on there? Oh come on, seriously? Why would anyone go that low for our mistake anyways?

This should be a no brainer! Samsung is a big company, LoopPay is a big company...people needs to research them BTW, and Verizon is a big company.......combine the three and what do you get?

Kudos to Verizon for supporting it

Kudos to Samsung for allowing us to store our Wallet

Kudos to LoopPay for also making this happen

Its a win win situation here.............but by all means take your time in this 'evaluation process' and in the meantime you will have thousands of customers leaving Verizon to be with Sprint or whomever because THEY support Samsung Pay.

DO NOT tell me about GoogleWallet..........enter the zip code 97801 and you will see only 2 places exist to use it.  But I know for a fact that LoopPay works in more places than GoogleWallet does. If LoopPay works, so will Samsung Pay and I too will be another customer who gets a phone with Sprint because they offer Samsung Pay and not Verizon

[TheHammerBro]

Exactly it'd be like if I lost my wallet, & I sued the people that made my wallet because my credit cards were in there.

[mrgsc]

I agree. I bought my Edge Plus with the idea that I would be able to use Samsung Pay. Please allow your loyal customers to use the technology and software as the manufacturer intended, i.e. Samsung Pay. I have been a loyal customer for over 20 years and I would hate to switch carriers because Verizon keeps blocking software (except anything from Apple).

[peekjd]

That's me too over 20 years. I have 3 lines and 2 are out of contract. T

mobile will pay my early term fee on my 1 line.

VZW is behaving  ridiculously slow in their responses, they should atleast provide some level of latest updates as if when they are going to support this cool feature. I am amazed that how such a big company like VZW is ignoring this update/feature, seems like they dont care. And their response saying 'try Google wallet' is just a  useless response. Seems like they dont understand the h/d availability and difference betn MST vs NFC.

[AAM63]

As of Tuesday 9/29/2015, there was no feedback from Verizon about Samsung Pay support. It is time to move out from Verizon to either AT&T or Sprint.  I am sick of Verizon ignoring their loyal customers' requests, blocking legitimate and useful services, and not being able to solve technical tickets opened 8 months ago!  Do you think Verizon would care?

[vzw_customer_support]

AAM63,

We are here, and ready to assist. We never want to lose any of our valued customers. You mean the world to us. It saddens us to hear you say moving out. Additionally, we certainly don't want you to feel ignored.

We can relate to how convenient it is to be able to make payments with your phone. Have you cosidered Android Pay? Here are the details on this very similar option: http://bit.ly/1YMAxby.

@Verizon Wireless Customer Support

You have got to be kidding me!. Stop responding to these post with we are so sorry to hear that but have you tried Google Wallet (aka Google Pay). Would you stop responding with what your computer says to put and be human and read the god damn post so you you can actually SUPPORT your customers!!! There is a reason we want SAMSUNG PAY and not shitty Google Wallet/Google Pay. The real kicker is the VERIZON staff in the store was pushing Samsung Pay on the Galaxy S6 and that is why i purchased it. WTF

I will be looking into getting it to work the hard way like hacking my phone and if i am not successful then you can kick rocks because I will happily take my 4 lines to another carrier. I only came to Verizon and dealt with this crappy CUSTOMER SERVICE because my last company required it. I am no longer there and AT&T may be getting me back.

[vzw_customer_support]

Smitaio, we don't want to lose you as a customer. We do value your loyalty. We would never want to see you leave. Since we are not offering Samsung Pay, Google Pay is the option that we have. It does have similar features. If we had a different option, we would certainly offer it to you.

  its not the same at all... we, the customers if your company already know this... samsung pay is clearly superior to Google's version... please stop trying to insult folk's intelligence

[Snn5]

"Superior" implies that one is better than the other, however, if one does not work or is not accepted, yet the other is, then superiority is defined by compatible function.

[Mikef0608]

Tidbits I was not talking to you and do not care about anything you have to say. Verizon your message about android pay I do use it some as it is one of the features of my phone. Samsung pay is also one of the features of my phone as well. I am not under contract. It is a great thing that if some company that you are doing business with that you don't like you just go else where. I have a date that if this is not resolved I will be leaving. There is no need for you to try to contact me further about this. There is nothing you can say or try to convince me that some other app or service is good enough. The fact is that when I buy something with features on it you will not be the one who decides if I can use it or not.

[TMO89]

Why was it not stated from the beginning that Verizon would not offer Samsung Pay?
