I have a Galaxy S6 Edge international unlocked version activated on cricket. My phone updated when I turned it on, but I see no Samsung pay. I dont see why it wouldnt be supported because att and cricket are the same network.

Same network, different carrier.

So pretty much I just have to wait until they support cricket? This confuses me because android pay is supported on any carrier.

Awesome. It's a pretty genius app. No NFC necessary is just what mobile payments needed. Can't wait for cricket to accept it. If they dont, I'll probably switch carriers lol

That's awesome. I was also wondering if that edge clock that I put on at night will burn in the screen...

Hey sorry to bring up an old thread, but I've heard rumors that samsung pay does not have any plans to support international unlocked devices. Have you heard anything about this?
OT:-
Actually AMOLED screens, such as on S6 Edge can burn-in just like CRTs and plasmas. It's LCDs that can't have screen burn. I saw one in a showroom last week which had been on continually for some weeks or months showing the same thing, and on a light image, and could make out dark shadows of where text had normally been showing. Myself, I would be very wary about keeping something stationary like a clock continually showing on it.
And my original Galaxy S definitely did show noticeable burn after about 18 months and towards the end of it's life, was looking decidedly dull, green and murky, just like an old CRT TV!
This is what a burned AMOLED can look like. It's outlines of icons that had been on there continually.

Samsung Pay is only Korea and US at the moment. So an international unlocked S6 which isn't normally sold there, isn't likely to be supporting it yet, not until Samsung updates with this feature. Probably when Samsung Pay more rolled out, worldwide.

Was so glad to hear they added Chase. I added my card and stopped by the grocery store on the way home for a few things. Too bad it works no better than Google Pay did. IE it does not. Tried 3 times while others in line scowled at me. Ended up digging my wallet out and doing it the old fashioned way.
So much for the new tech actually making phone payment something useful.
If the system does not work at least 99.9% (same as normal credit cards) its a failure as it cannot be relied upon.
Oh well, maybe in a few more years some other tech will actually make this work.

Have probably used my S6 with Samsung Pay to charge on non-NFC terminals more than 50 times. It did not work on exactly one of them, and that was probably because the card-swiper was on the cash-register rather than on the store-counter -- making it more difficult to get the orientation correct. As such, I just hand over the card for those rare occasions.
In every other case I simply ignore the clerk telling me that "we don't have one of those" long enough for them to be shocked when it works. It's quite amusing.
I'd estimate the average time for my phone's card to be recognized is in the range of 2-4 seconds.
Sorry yours doesn't work as well, and glad mine does.
