Fairphone 2 - NFC Chip

[Tracy_Beckett]

Hi all

I’ve been wanting to use Android Pay on my FP1 but I refuse to buy an Apple or Samsung phone to have a NFC chip. I was thinking about ordering the TP2 but wondering if anyone has the Fairphone 2 and found a NFC chip from elsewhere that works in that phone? If not I guess I will have to wait until something has been produced.

Best location for NFC sticker on FP2

I'm delighted to have my new FP2 in my hands at last! I've got a bpay sticker which I'd like to use for NFC contactless payments. It's 30mm x 40mm and is like thick paper in thickness, I guess. Ideally I'd like to put it inside the back case of my phone, stuck to the case. Has anyone else done this and have any suggestions? I was trying to figure out how to arrange it relative to the rubber rectangle battery support... Of course I could stick it on the outside, but that would ruin the pho…

Generally I advice against using your phone as a paying device. Stickers (like in the thread above) or ATM cards with NFC chip are more secure because they don’t connect to the internet (as your phone does).

Thanks Stefan. I think I will stay with my ATM card then.
