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.
https://mega.nz/#!cRFkUAhT!8h7kOQ8opFy3YWal7xgw68EByv6dOsgepURGy9C005E
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.

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?

Hi guys. I recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge G935F. However, despite having the latest update on my phone, Samsung Pay is nowhere to be found. Do you think a firmware re installation would help? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!! Also, as a sidenote, I have not made any modifications to the device, as the void counter still states 0.
I also think its worth noting that I previously had a rooted S6. Would this prevent me from using Samsung Pay on my S7?

I read that the latest update on the "F" firmware removed the Samsung Pay App from the phone. The person that reported it, speculated that it might be because Samsung is about to activate Samsung Pay in European countries and they removed it until the finalized app would be available. Again, that was just speculation. But it does appear that the app was purposefully removed by Samsung for some reason.

Yes. It's only available if you meet all Samsung Pay criteria. Check their website. It has to be model AND carrier specific.
It's not on mine either. And where I live, they don't have chip & PIN protection as well (yes the cards have the chip won't ask for my PIN). So not a huge loss.

Ok thanks. My model is the G935F and my SIM is a T-Mobile one. So they probably removed it.
I checked on this with Samsung. They don't have any idea if it will reach international unlocked versions. As of now is only avail in US and carrier locked phones.
Ah got it not sure how I missed that. Much appreciated.
Yes just a small reminder ... the Galaxy S6\S6 Edge\S6 Edge+ international edition are all still waiting to get Samsung Pay... I just bought the G935F.. I really hope\wish we get S Pay soon
I've been using Android pay for a week but have found that where I live there are a lot of terminals that don't accept tap to pay via nfc.
I notice that samsung pay can emulate the magnetic strip used on older terminals so thought may be worth giving it a go.
I tried to download the app from the play store but it says my device isn't supported! I could have sworn the s7 was supposed to be supported so am at a loss as to why I'm barred from using it.
Is anyone else here having the same problem?
i have a us sprint version and samsung pay works for me. i just have to wait for the bank to open tomorrow and have my card verified. my app runs and allowed me to add the card just have to get it verified before i can use it. i used it on my note 5 and yes any terminal that u can swipe a card with u should be able to use samsung pay with. if u root your phone u break samsung pay fyi

i wish they would have got it going on the gear s2. that's one of the reasons i got one when i had my note 5 but they didn't have it for the us version of the watch
Using Samsung Pay, with T-Mobile in US, works everywhere. I also have the iPhone 6S, stopped using it months ago, Apple Pay has problems everywhere, Samsung Pay works anywhere and everywhere.

What version of s7 do you have? I have a G930FD, I flashed it with firmware from UAE, csc code XSG, and installed the latest Samsung Pay and Samsung Pay Frame. And it works very well in U.S. You can find the thread for this.
Thanks. I thought samsung pay would have been usable upon launch in the UK and missed that it hadn't been released here yet.
I don't fancy flashing another country's firmware for now so will just be patient and wait for its release here.
If it wasn't for the magnetic strip emulation I wouldn't bother but even some of the big chain stores don't have contactless here so could really use it.
FWIW I have a G930F

Anybody with a rooted phone try out Samsung Pay via the Gear S3? I have the S7 edge and haven't rooted it because I like using Samsung Pay, but if the watch can do it by itself then maybe I can root my phone and enjoy Samsung Pay all in one. Wondering if anyone wants to give it a shot if it hasn't been tested, I would but I'm waiting for Verizon to start selling it, not sure when that will be...
Thanks for the replies and/or help.

Recently Samsung pay for the gear now detects root. Here's the latest as of 11 April 2017:

after looking at what version of Samsung pay had on the watch which was 1.3.1703, I was able to find an apk from sammobile for version 1.2.5202. After downloading that version and I had to manually uninstall Samsung Pay through your phone settings and application manager or installing the older apk on top of the newer one would fail, I was able to access Samsung pay with no problems on my phone and was able to add back my card like i was able to do before. after adding my card I was able to blanch Samsung pay on my Watch but due to my watch Samsung pay version being higher than my phone version due to when Samsung pay updated before, it wouldn't let me use Samsung pay until my phone version was back to version 1.3.1703. but I was able to access Samsung pay on my watch with my cards showing up now. I haven't tried to see if it works but I assume that since the card is on the watch now It should work now. ill attach the older apk for anyone else to try.

you cant install it on the gear3 cause it have to be setup on the phone first so maybe unless you unroot and set it up and then re-root it might stick and work idk

I wanted to know this exactly too. If the Gear s3 samsung pay works with rooted samsung phone this will be an instabuy for me. I'm quite hopeful since Samsung pay for gear s3 is supposed to work with non samsung phones which don't have knox to begin with.
Do let us know the answer when you find out for yourself! Would be very grateful.
I haven't received my Gear S3 yet, but I have a Gear S2 with Samsung Pay setup up in the Gear Manager (it's a separate app from the phone Samsung Pay app). It works perfectly on my rooted Note 4 (which doesn't run Samsung Pay itself), so I suppose it will work the same way after I get the S3.
I think it depends if your root method triggers KNOX. Samsung Pay looks to see if KNOX has been tripped and if it has, you can't add cards. Since you need to setup cards on your phone before you can use them on the watch, you won't be able to use Samsung Pay on the watch either.

Yes that's true for Samsung pay on samsung phones. Apparently however the gear s3 samsung pay uses a separate app on the phone.

That's a good sign. Do update us when you've had a chance to try on the s3!
I have a rooted Galaxy S5, I haven't been able to add a card through Gear Manager. Does it not work since I have a non-compatible samsung pay app phone or is it because its rooted? I heard that samsung pay won't work for android 4.4 and above till they release an update for samsung pay so I'm hoping that is why I can't add a card.
It seems to work with rooted phones. I have a rooted lg v20 and was able to install and set up samsung pay on the watch. I set it up with a card but havent tried it out on a terminal since its really late. But seems like it works perfectly.

That's great news! Would be perfect if anyone with a rooted Samsung phone (ideally one which would be able to run the phone SPay if it hadn't been rooted) could confirm this though. It's entirely possible though unlikely that the Gear SPay works differently on non-Samsung phones.

Samsung pay for the watch or phone? Also do you live somewhere where Samsung pay may not be available? Only reason I ask is because the way to root for the US versions doesn't trip Knox.
I have the international version with custom recovery Etc, knox is definitely tripped and I'm in the US. It won't install on the phone or the watch when paired to the phone.

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 an unlocked S7 SM-G930W8 model off ebay then realized that its Samsung Pay is different with the same app in US model. It has no stores, deals to take advantage of Samsung pay promotions. Also I didn't see anywhere to earn points. I uninstalled and reinstalled from Galaxy app but still the same.
The phone is from Telus and updated to latest version (still Android 7). I wonder is it possible to put the US Samsung Pay on this phone? Thanks for help.
