I bought samsung galaxy s6 (920i version) on ebay to use on AT&T. I got a couple of ota updates so far, but I am wondering whether my s6 will get "samsung pay" app in over the air update. Mine is international model unlocked, so I was wondering what would happen next when samsung pay launches in the us. (Maybe samsung pay app will be on galaxy store?)
Samsung Pay is built-in to your S6. We only need to wait for its implementation on the vendor side.

But don't I need a software update to install samsung pay app (which definitely isn't present on my phone yet) on my phone? Samsung website on samsung pay says I will need a ota software update to install samsung pay on s6. What I am wondering is whether the update that will install samsung pay system will come to my phone, which is international galaxy s6 (920i)although samsung pay is only available in the us and korea.
Yes, you would need a service payment app. This will be available once vendors/credit card companies implement Samsung Pay.

Thanks for your reply! But do you think I will be able to download those apps even though mine (international -singapore version of s6) doesn't get those apps via ota update (as samsung says they will start the service only in us and korea?)
To be able to use it your local credit card company must 1st support it together with local vendors. As youe mentioned only US and south Korean markets will go 1st. If successful other markets including yours will follow.

Yes as I am in the United States, samsung pay will be supported from Sept 28th. On that day, carrier-branded phones (at&t/tmobile)will get software update that will install samsung pay system on their phones. But will my phone (unlocked international) get software update that will install samsung pay on Sept 28th?? That is exact question of mine... sorry for bugging but it is very important question for me thanks as always!
Call your US credit card company for details. I feel they can already answer most of your questions as the implementation date is near. It is they who will give you credit and use it thru your S6.
I've found the link to be able to download the Samsung Pay Beta .apk file but I haven't figured out how to get it to install. Does someone else want to try? I'm stuck on a Samsung S6 Edge running 5.0.2. I wonder if you have to have 5.1.1 to run it.
Korea Link - https://kr.mpay.samsung.com/apk
US Link - https://us.mpay.samsung.com/apk
Here's a download link for the Samsung Pay .apk file I found on the Korean link. It lets me install it on my Samsung S6 Edge+ running android 5.1.1.

If you don't get a OTA with Samsung Pay, you can probably install the APK from apkmirror or something like that. I would be surprised if Samsung Pay checks model number instead of carrier/location. If it is anything like Android Wallet/Pay, you can install and use it in the country where is active regardless of phone model number. I.e. I have used Android Pay in the US but I can not use it back in Denmark.

From what I've read, it's only built-in on the Note 5 and Galaxy S6 Edge+. The regular S6 and S6 edge will receive an ota update to enable it (I think this means the OTA will be Android 5.1.1). I am using the SM-G920i (seems to be the Australian version) on AT&T and I received the 5.1.1 update a few days ago. I did manage to download and install the APK from the Korean version of the site, signing in with my regular samsung account (same as on the phone) and just did a google translate on the page to find where I needed to tap to download the file. My cousin has the S6 on Sprint with OS v5.0.2 and the APK didn't install, so you definitely need to be on AT LEAST 5.1.1 for it to install.
Mine installed and runs, but won't go past the screen with the "start" button - I'm guessing b/c the beta hasn't activated in the US yet (which I think is slated for 8/28) with a full release in the US market on 9/25.

I called today and they told me to download the Samsung Plus app from the Google playstore. I downloaded it agreed to the terms and logged in and then inside the app there was a link that said "Join Samsung Pay Beta". So far it doesn't do anything, but it seems promising that it might work tomorrow after the beta has officially begun.

Just bought an 920i on eBay. You guys get this working after the service went live?
I think the Samsung Pay need time till it reach the International Galaxy S6.

Nope, but in the same boat as you and several others here - got a 920i on AT&T here in the U.S. But seems that Samsung Pay comes bundled with an OS update that of course our handsets will not see as it is targeted to specific country\carrier handset variants. Hoping someone here figures out how to back the apks and associated frameworks off one of those working devices so we can perhaps apply them to ours.
I also have a Galaxy S6 G920i that I bought on e-bay. Mine came from Singapore. I thought I was smart by buying an locked phone. I thought for sure I'd get all the updates sooner that everyone else. FAIL! T-Mobile variants get most updates about a week or two before me.
What really sucks is one of the main reasons I wanted the S6 was samsung pay. Had I knew I was going to run in to this problem I would never have bought it.
I too use my G920i on AT&T and have been searching the web like crazy for a way to get Samsung pay to work on my phone. Has anyone had any success getting it to work on a G920i or G920f? If you have, please share your wisdom.
Any luck guys ? with samsung pay on s6 G920i?

Nope. No SamsungPay for unlocked versions like ours.

You need to wait until Samsung and your carrier enables it for you.

Hello agian,
I tried to get my samaung pay to work, pressing the back button for 1 to 2 seconds, did not work, I don't have the samsung pay on the gear app either. I am assuming I have the international version as I dont live in the US or Asia so is it that? Or the fact that I don't have Samsung's phone?
Will the international ever get it? I was completely unaware that my unit might not have samsung pay. Cheers.
I think the international version may be gimped intentionally and might not ever support SPAY.
Is it possible to install the samsung pay app on the gear s3 international version? Do you know if it works? Or it first chech the CSC of the device before running to make sure its a supported country version?
Samsung gear s3 India will get Samsung pay in few days which i assume is an International version
officially lauched on march 22nd, but yet waiting for update. they said a week or two.
watch this youtube video. sorry, i cannot paste url. so i am just pasting the code.

I bought my Gear S3 on ebay from Korea, so far everything is working well. I was in Saudi Arabia all this time where Samsung Pay isn't available so I couldn't try it.
Now I came back to India where Samsung Pay is available but still I'm not able to use it.
I get error shown in attached screenshot, when installing pay plug-in in my OnePlus one.
P. S.: I'm using Indian sim.
Any help is appreciated.
hi i have the s 8 plus and gear 3 in uk ,i have managed to download samsung pay on my phone ,but can find no way of installing it on my gear 3 ,any advise please
You can only do what all other UK Gear S3 users are doing..... wait until Samsung release it for our watches.
They have enabled it for Gear S3 users in other countries. They've also released it to non UK purchased Gear S3s within the UK, but sadly not for UK owners who bought in the UK.
The app is clearly available & working on the S3, so hopefully they'll let us have it soon!
Samsung pay is installing on my gear s3 in the UK now
So there's discussion that if we purchase an International Note 10 or Note 10+ from ebay, we may not be able to use Samsung Pay in the United States. The reason being, the Note will be preloaded with Pay App that's from that region. Had anyone been able to uninstall the pre-installed app and reload the app via apkmirror to get Samsung Pay to work in the US?
Saw a post on the s8 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/help/how-add-samsung-pay-to-sm-g950fd-dual-t3600699) which talked about this exact problem. Not sure if it's the same here and if anyone got to work around the region problem. Not talking about U firmware.
Just got my Note 10+ dual sim from Ebay N9750 (HK) version and Samsung Pay worked out the box in South Africa. However the adverts and loyalty program is specific for HK.
