Samsung Pay in the USA - UK Bank Cards and MST - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

I've found it impossible to find an answer on this one.
I'm going to the US soon and I'm trying to find out if Samsung pay will work with my UK bank/credit cards in the US on MST terminals.
Does the bank that is linked to the terminal determine whether the mst samsung pay transaction will work or is it determined by the UK bank card I am using on Samsung pay?
Thanks

Does anyone know the answer to this?

Galaxy S from expansys

Hi ,
I want to buy Samsung Galaxy S form expansys but I have small question that maybe someone could help me find an answer

But I don't know if the price in expansys including TAX . Someone know if he will pay TAX for it in Florida ?
Here is a link :

Thanks a lot
yes they charge tax
if you want to avoid tax, then buy from another country Xpansys, then send it there
say for example buy from Xpansys UK or Xpansys Canada, then have it shipped to Florida
Thank you !
Then if I buy from here :

And send it to Florida I will not pay any tax ?
Another thing:
I want to ship my order to a different delivery address from Billing address as shown on bank/credit card statement , It's possible ?
Thank you a lot again
I need an answer today, to know buy or not.
We do not charge tax for orders to Florida. Tax is only within Illinois, as that is where we are based. You'd need the delivery address on file with your bank as an alternate address.

Need info for buying from UK / CarPhoneWareHouse

Hi,
We can pre-order now from CarPhoneWareHouse:
http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/mobiles/mobile-phones/NEXUS-S-FROM-GOOGLE?intcmp=hp-hp-bnr-v1-1163
If you live in UK and familiar with CarPhoneWareHouse, please if you can answer my questions because I might be able to get one from there
(1) What is that "Pay as You Go"? Is it mobile operator related? Because if I click that option, it asks me to choose mobile operator package. But the price is for without contract.
If I get this, can I use it with my current mobile operator in The Netherlands?
(2) What are the options to send package from UK to The Netherlands? and How much cost (estimation)?
I need this to calculate how much money should I transfer to my contact in UK including shipping
(3) Do you think we can walk in to CarPhoneWareHouse store to buy directly instead of pre-order? Or is this pre-order only?
Thanks a lot! I cannot wait to get Nexus S!
Regards,
Gogol
Pay as you go, is when you have a SIM card, which isn't on a contract, attached to a mobile operator - and you "top up" the sim card with money before you use it. You are better off just buying the "SIM FREE" option here http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/mobiles/choose-tariff/NEXUS-S-FROM-GOOGLE/HANDSET/.
As for shipping, it depends who you use, just check out some of the mail company in the UK to get an estimate. I don't know about Netherlands, but there could be taxes which have to be paid in addition to the shipping costs.
You can only pre-order until they have stock instore, which will be after 20th December.

UK & EU USERS ONLY -Prepaid Credit Card (while waiting for Google to sell Gift Cards)

UK & EU USERS ONLY -Prepaid Credit Card (while waiting for Google to sell Gift Cards)
UK & EU USERS ONLY! I'm already aware that US users can do this in the US shop
Have any of you successfully used a prepaid credit card with Google Play UK? Also any EUers managed to do this with their local Google Play Shop? Please if possible state whether it was Mastercard or Visa & who issued it & country if non UK EUer.
This seems to be the only option (until Google finally get around to issuing Gift Cards for sale) for those of use who don't want each .60p or .60c purchase to register individually on our bank statement. It's much tidier to just have a balance left in our google account just for apps. Just like with Amazon & iTunes. To say nothing of all those under 18's.
I have a card from tuxedo prepaid and I've used it a few times. I didn't know it made a difference if its prepaid or a regular credit card.

1st question: international buyer: how to?

heys guys.
I'll be visiting USA when Nexus 4 will be launched.
Is it possible for an international buyer to purchase one?
Google play accepts international credit cards or USA only?
I could ship it to my hotel.
Or are there any other ways to buy it? will it be available on Retail stores?
Thank you!

According to support.google.com (can't post URL, sorry), "the country of your credit card must match the country to which you're shipping."

bad news for me
Anyone knows if there is a way to get a prepaid visa card or something like that?
I've heard about it once but no idea how it works or if it would be able to purchase on play store.
Any american know how that works?
Give me your cash. I'll use that to buy it for you.

You can try www.entropay.com
that's how I buy movies, books and musics from google play and I'm in Brazil...
I would expect that the Nexus 4 will be available in retail stores, not just the Play Store. That's how it is in Australia at least and I believe many Asian/European countries. Not entirely sure about the US but I'd guess it's the same.
I live in Mexico and I bought the nexus one after a few months it came out, I went to the page they used to have, before google play, and using a vpn bought it using a mexican visa credit card, but it was shipped to my aunt's house in USA and I went for it. If they don't release the N4 in Mexico before the christmas I gonna do the same

Availability of dual sim variant

Hello everyone,
I am eagerly waiting to preorder the much-awaited S8(+), but since I do not live in any of the regions which traditionally supply the dual sim variant (South Korea? India? Singapore? China? Thailand?) I would like to know if any supplier is well known for forwarding a dual-sim S8 to Europe, and if so which one would you advise choosing.
My guess is preorders will be quickly saturated so I would like to know where I could get my hands on a dual sim S8 as early as possible
Thank you xda!
Me too, for import to France
In my opinion best dual sim versions coming from UAE. Currently I have s7 edge duos from UAE, and is perfect. Looks same like EU version (even address on backplate is UK). I had in the past s6 duos from china, all documentation in Chinese, also China address on the back. However it was working perfect.
Anyone know reliable online shop in UAE, who shipping to UK?

There is none reliable online store and I don't recommend buying from there as as difficult to get local warranty, still if you want to buy than get it from someone working or living there like friend or relative etc.
Saying reliable online store I mean, real store with good recommendation, who will send device to me without any problems. Unfortunately I don't know any person living there...

I don't agree with many ppl here.. There are lots or reliable sources in uae, well known local online stores with a track record, i personally bought from them (and i live in dubai) and i know for a fact that they ship to many customers in Europe (reading from few other threads on xda related to Samsung products) try Mike&Smith uae and try mygsm uae.. Just Google them.. Hope this helps as i did buy from both many times..
I contacted mygsm uae. They will have s8 duos in stock next week, Shipping to UK is £20, so I will use them

WooooW i never thought they will get it that fast, am already on the waiting list for several sellers here in dubai. Good luck for us.
Thank you for all the advice, mygsm does not display price yet and Mike&Smith sells the S8+ for 4000AED (1020€) which is crazy expensive, will any reseller be cheaper, or is there any other dual-sim friendly country which may sell it for less?

This is the price for early birds, give it sometime till the official release, and the price will drop down.. These are my trusted sources whom i used for a while, can't advice on any that i didn't try..
