Isis available on T-mobile galaxy SII

What exactly is it?

AT&T's version of Google Wallet.

I'd rather have Google wallet, Isis apparently has processing fees when you use it

Well in that case, ewww

I keep waiting for isis to die a horrible death.

Looks like it's confirmed: http://www.mastercard-mobilepartner.com/docs/MasterCard_Approved_Mobile_Devices.pdf
The US HTC One X is listed on the second page with Isis support (international version gets Google Wallet).

Dumb question, but does the international version already support Google wallet?

Couldn't care less either way. Storing sensitive financial info on your phone is a dumb idea, particularly on a rooted phone which is about a secure as a laptop connected directly to the Internet with an administrator account enabled and secured with the password 'password'. I am no privacy freak or security nut but taking that kind of risk with your phone particularly in the absence of a legal framework to protect you is nuts. I already have an NFC payment system, it is called a credit card and takes about the same time to pull out of my pocket as my phone. And when it breaks I can get a brand new one for free in 24 hrs.

Putting something as simple as a screen lock on your phone can fix these security issues, a simple app the can remotely wipe your phone can also assure no lost credentials or even track down the phone!
Using a superuser/supersu app with a pin to grant superuser permissions helps too
A lost credit/debit card on the other hand can lead to all kinds of problems until you know its gone and you need to call and report it stolen
By then its possible someone could be buying themselves some new toys
I'd rather carry my ID and my phone around instead of my phone, ID, credit cards, debit cards, and cash
Just my two cents

Upgrading on AT&T without consent

Alright this is more of the questions for the AT&T network not really the Samsung Infuse. Anyway, I want to upgrade my phone later on I will get the Galaxy Note 2 . Now, I'd like to upgrade but my parents do not want to allow it. I do however, have a store near me. Couldn't I just go to the store with my phone number or do I need any other information to help me upgrade ? Any advice is helpful thank you. I should probably also say that I don't have an upgrade available both my parents do, but i think i could use one of theirs. Im under 18, would that stop me either? (I got my tablet from walmart lol, i was fine on that.)
Sent either from my p113 (gtab 2 7.0) or i997 (Infuse)
I believe they will require authorization from the one in charge of the account (one of your parents I suppose).
And not so sure about the upgrades, but I believe each one is specific to a phone line.

Is your present phone a 4g? If it is, you can go on line with ATT and upgrade one of your parents phones. When the phone arrives, all you have to do is switch out your sim card.....all your number info and all that stuff is on the sim card.
If you go into the store and you are not the account holder, they won't even talk to you.

I'm thinking this is a great way to get yourself into hot water pretty quick.
A better idea would be to work out something with your parents.
Try this link
Upgrading will extend your parent's contract another 2 years.
I'm sure they'll definitely notice that.
To qkster, I'll try again lol when the time comes. I've got a lot of money that I've earned/gotten, and they won't let me use any of it! It sits there (in a safe place, easily access able to me), finally gave up and spent some of it on my tab 2. I love that, and my phone but the gnote 2 could make things a lot easier, use less devices.

I'm sure they would not know, my mom lost a 7 year old flip phone with no plan to get her another soon, and my dad has a 5 year old flip phone too. They do not care about tech. At all, I'm lucky to have a decent laptop to do heavy hw, I use my tab and phone for the quick typing/notes. It seems for me to work well, and no matter what I do they think its terrible (because they can't figure it out! Haha)

Likely that since your parents are not tech savvy you can log into the att online portal using a username and password combo that they would normally use. From there you can add yourself as an authorized user and go into a store and wreak havoc. But honesty is the best policy.

And just think, if something were to happen and they had to switch off of at&t or wanted to go somewhere else for service it would require them to pay roughly 800 bucks to terminate the contract. Not to mention the mandatory data charge for upgrading to a smart phone. They'd probably notice the extra 15 to 30 bucks a month.
As a parent myself who until this question thought I was still 'cool' (I'm slowly turning into a grumpy old man and its pissing me off) I'd most likely kill my kids of they tried what you are asking.

Has anyone gotten ISIS working?
My local Verizon store swears that even though jellybean just released today that today they also revoked support for ISIS because of problems.

Incase anyone else is interested Verizon fixed the problem overnight. So you can now install ISIS btw you don't need the nfc sim installed to install the app. Not sure about actually using /setting it up. I believe you will need that sim to do anything in the app.

I'm In Michigan and I installed the app but it would not let me set it up. So I tweeted to verizonsupport and they sent me a SIM card that is compatible with Isis. I received the SIM card today and setup the account. I also recieved the free ten dollars. So now i have to see if it works at a store.
I encourage everybody to pass on ISIS and the carriers bull****.
Help a n00b out... where can you actually use Isis? I have Google Wallet working on my Nexus 7 and have used it at a few places...much to the astonishment of employees and customers... but even there, very limited support.

ISIS supports the same services (paypass, paywave, etc) that wallet supports. So basically you should be able to use it at the same locations.

I just got the OTA from VZW last week and since I saw ISIS in the change list I figured I'd give it a go even though I'm in NY not SLC/Austin.
I called Verizon and they sent me a NFC SIM, and I still had trouble getting it to go but I got it eventually. It was a pain in the neck to set up and add cards but I got it going. On Amex's page about ISIS it says: "Use it where American Express contactless payments are accepted.* Just look for the universal symbol for contactless payments or signs that say "Isis Ready™."
by saying "or" it seems to imply not just in ISIS ready places like SLC/Austin, but anywhere AMEX ExPay is accepted, which is all over the country! I didn't see the same about Chase.
I'll give it a go today in NY and I'll let you know if it worked.
Overall, I must say so far, I like the app better than Google Wallet. It seems like they charge the card direct as opposed to Google which has a system of charging their virtual MC first then charging you, (This could be dis-advantageous regarding benefits that the card would give you, like bonus points at certain category merchants etc.). The only major problem is that it only takes Chase, Amex, and Cap1. but that isn't such a problem for me because I pretty much only use Chase and Amex cards.
I've got it installed, but it will not let me set it up. I live in Pittsburgh, so it may not be a test area. It's strange that it kicks me out of the app though.

Do you have a NFC SIM? you'll need one for it to work and Verizon will send you one free.

Update: I successfully used ISIS to pay at a Brooklyn, NY RiteAid store. I had it set to use a Amex card and I checked straight away and there was a pending charge that appeared normal (unlike Google Wallet transactions which would show up as GOOGNFC*name-of-merchant). When I tried to pay, nothing was happening, so I took off the slim case I have on the back of my phone (GW never had any problems working through this case) and then tried again. Even then nothing happened, I was about to give up and began to pull out my wallet to get a real card, when the terminal came to life and said "Processing Contacless Payment". I'm not sure if it managed to read through my case or if it only read after I removed the case, but if it's the latter, that might be due to the fact that ISIS doesn't utilize the built in NFC chip rather it uses the one embedded into the SIM which is obviously much smaller (the built in one relies on an antenna as big as the battery) and therefore has a much shorter range.
The bottom line is so far I still like it better than GW, my only concern is that it mentioned that if it detects unusual root access in the OS, it will not operate. I don't plan on staying stock unrooted for too much longer!

Is Google wallet/MasterCard Paypass on way out?

I just noticed that Walgreens is not activating any of their nfc payment systems because of security issues and just today I found out that wawa gas stations no longer have them due to some type of issues they were having with malware with their system. Seems more companies are discontinuing their use over setting the systems up.
I hope they get this supposed security problem figured out soon. I love using my phone to pay.

This was only ever a pipe dream to be honest. Too many ways it can be hacked, far too insecure for real world use.
Far, far too unsafe for public use. You can hack it with stickers for goodness sake.
Not to mention, people are far too moronic in the way and guard they use their phones to make this work. On an average day at Uni, I see about 200 phones I could nick without them noticing it. And consequentially use to pay for anything, because apparently people are not smart enough to realize that a pattern lock leaves a fingertrail. And their code is pretty much always a date of relevance. Which they've undoubtably mentioned somewhere on their Facebook.
I don't think the reason is security on the phone but on the unit in the store. The phone itself is more secure than using a debit card. If someone steals your card they are able to use it at most stores without ever being asked for id. My phone not only has a passcode but once you try to use the wallet app it asks for another code. Overall I think the security issue is with the store and if that can be resolved nfc payments can continue.

Mobile NFC payments are far more secure than any other form of physical payment.

If you could provide details about how a sticker can hack nfc then maybe you could have a point. But as far as all the research I have done nfc payments are more secure than paying with a debit card.

Because the NFC tag can be set to many things like storing and sending the info used to pay. And it doesnt take much to reprogram the tag, They are about as safe as a debt card which we all know is not 100%

What tag are you talking about. The phones use an nfc chip and the stores use an nfc system. No one uses a sticker. The stickers your talking about are the ones sold that can let you perform tasks on your phone. What do they have to do with making secure payments from the phone.

Its the Same tech. I installed these in a few stores and saw how easy it would be to allow it to be reprogrammed.
That's why just like if you see a weird looking atm and don't use it you should not use an nfc scanner. Plus you can tell if their is some weird sticker on the nfc scanner. And this proves again that using your phone is not unsecure it's the system that is at the store that can be compromised by idiots. Plus if your Google wallet app doesn't activate after swiping then that should be an indication of something going wrong. Plus those nfc task stickers do not have access to the Google wallet app. So what your saying is flawed and not the reason why stores are removing the units. I think the units are being tampered with by people or the store employees and stores don't want to deal with this. With updated nfc systems this security issue can be resolved. It's just a matter if this makes money for Google. If it doesn't they will just scrap it

Just found out there's a new more secure nfc payment system. Saw it for the first time at toysrus. The swipe area for nfc payments is built in right to the touchscreen where you would enter prompts. This is a lot more secure and a solution to all these so called sticker problems. No one can put a sticker on the screen as it will block everyone from using it. Hopefully nfc payments get back on track. Just used mine at cvs and McDonald's

Google wallet works on a stock vzw phone....Hell has frozen over. I felt even though we have Kit Kat I had this bad feeling vzw would do something to block Google wallet tap and pay functionality.

You might need to tell them to press the credit card button first or that you want to make a credit card transaction so they can do what they need to in order to process a credit card payment.

Works on a stock VZW Moto X running 4.2.2 fwiw... I think once it worked how ISIS did, there was no "reason" to block it anymore - but i could be wrong.
Google sort of forced verizon's hand because it completely changed the way Wallet gets security, so verizon was not able to block it anymore. It was made to work with HCE so any device that supports HCE should work with wallet tap and pay now. Take that verizon!
Works well
I used Isis for the 1st time today at McD's and it worked great. Thanks to the board for the $40 credit heads up. Free lunches for me for a while.

Yep. Its better for all phones, not just Verizon ones. Any phone with HCE support in the ROM (which is almost all 4.4 ROMs) will work with Wallet and Isis.
No more secure element to worry about screwing up. This was a pain for people who swapped ROMs and whatnot and forgot to reset wallet.

If you are using Isis with Serve, you should also be getting a $1 credit back with each transaction >$1, a promo that goes through May?
Works especially well to buy me a Pepsi @ $1.06 each time
That is enough to get me to use isis instead of Google wallet until June, even though I prefer Google wallet.

Samsung Pay

I used Samsung pay for the first time yesterday and it worked flawlessly just like the demos I've watched online but the merchant did not have a NFC terminal so they didn't understand how I was able to pay. At first they said "we don't have apple pay" so I explained the service I was using but then they asked me for my ID and credit card which brings me to the problem, they said your receipt card number does not match your physical card number. After some more explaining and handing my phone over to show the virtual card number which matched, I was finally able to complete my purchase. This is probably a one off situation but it almost makes me not want to use the service because of the huge hassle. Anyone else experience this?

Just a few amazed looks is all I have encountered.

I don't mind the ID part, I just feel like it defeats the purpose if I have to present my physical card which doesn't even have the same number as the one used for the transaction.

I'm sure it'll get better once more banks participate and more and more people use it.
I think the biggest problem right now is the limited number of banks/cards that can be used and therefore the use of Samsung pay is limited to a small percentage of Samsung owners.
No one seems to know about Samsung pay as a result.

Dont let one person discourage you from this. A receipt shows up on your phone for the purchase and because they are not up to date on technology outside of Apple Pay does not mean you should have to suffer.
Keep amazing people and enjoying your Samsung Pay I know I am:good:
I haven't had anyone ID me either. Though I have had a couple places where it didn't work. Such as the post office,7 eleven, and the dollar store. Other then that it works great. Anyone try redbox yet? Not sure how the whole Tokin thing works when your card can be charged after the initial transaction.

Anyone know when more banks will be added? I wanted to get the free wireless charging pad offer but I have no cards I can add to Samsung pay.
