How do you use your phone's NFC for? Is it useless for now?
Google wallet?
I have read some NEWS about NFC and Google wallet. But seem nothing is really come to.
If you are using Google wallet, Please indicate city and what type of business.
If you are using other type of payment system please indicate name of payment system, city and merchant.
I will keep the OP updated with the on-going counts of the type of uses.
Thanks for your time.
Pro:
Con:
1. Read somewhere that NFC back actually blocks and interferes with Cel sigbal?
2. Extended batteries and the back covers are not compatible with NFC.
3. Eats up computing cycles and some (may be 1 or 2 %) battery life.
4. Annoying every time I go to change 2/3 g and wifi to see NFC entry there.
Result:
1. Meijer stores take NFC/Google wallet. In MI and I assume everywhere Meijer operate.
2. 7/11 Austin (assumes all 7/11 stores) Not confirmed (Anywhere they accept paypass, wallet should work. McDonalds, home depot, whataburger, cvs, and many more.)
3. McDonalds and Bestbuys. (City unknown).
4. Google Wallet and NFC tags (City unknown).
5.Jamba Juice in Gilroy, CA, and to buy a Coke out of a vending machine in Tulare, CA.
6. NFC feature used in conjuction with mifare card.(City unknown).
7. One former user of paypass seem to have given up on this since it is not as convenient as credit cards.(City unknown).
8. Vending machine in Vegas.
