I've got a friend that pays with her phone all the time... It seems quite cumbersome compared to contactless... I've got it on my phone but haven't used it yet... rubschin:

It actually works very well but I rarely use it even though it's easier getting the phone out than the right credit card and it's more secure than a contactless card.  Think it's just habit and that 'wot if the battery is flat' point.

And IIRC the transfer uses a one time encryption code so a cheap scanner would get them nothing
