On Tuesday, Verizon confirmed that select Samsung phones will soon be able to take advantage of the company’s mobile payments service.
Verizon named the Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge, Galaxy Note 5, and Galaxy S6 Edge+ as the phones to support Samsung Pay on its network. The support will be live after a “future software update.” Prior to confirming Samsung Pay’s arrival, Big Red tiptoed around the subject. Now, with many device owners pressing them on it, Verizon caved and provided news that is making many happy. This will allow owners of the aforementioned devices to use make purchases seamlessly through NFC and magnetic secure transmission (MST) technology.
The carrier has not provided a release date at this time. Big Red only redirects people to its News Center to check for updates and additional information. The good news is that Verizon really got its act together when it comes to issuing software updates. Although it’s still not the fastest carrier handling software updates, Verizon has come a very long way from when it would be months before a flagship would get a major update.
