\nThe Tube. It\u2019s the only place where you can firmly plant your nose into someone elses\u2019 armpit without them even flinching. Don\u2019t make eye contact though, and if you do, just hope you don\u2019t turn to look at the window and accidentally re-make eye contact in the reflection.<\/p>\n
However, if you still want to travel on the London Underground, DLR or the Overground, you will be able to pay your way with your phone via the EE Cash on Tap app. The contactless payments system will work when TfL launches it on September 16th, and you won\u2019t pay any more than an Oyster user.<\/p>\n
You can get the Cash on Tap app<\/A> and, if you\u2019ve got a phone with NFC (the Samsung Galaxy S5, HTC One, Galaxy S4 mini, Sony Xperia Z2 and more), you can test it out now in places like Marks & Spencer, Caff\u00e8 Nero, McDonald\u2019s and Pret A Manger. If none of that tickles your fancy, then get yourself down to Greggs and get a hot sweaty sausage roll. Boom.<\/p>\n More details ee.co.uk\/cashtap<\/A><\/p>\n \u00b7 When Transport for London launches contactless payments on 16th September, EE customers will be able to travel across London\u2019s Tube, DLR and Overground networks using their mobile phone to make payments<\/p>\n \u00b7 The service will use EE\u2019s Cash on Tap app, enabling fast and simple contactless payments to get around the capital<\/p>\n \u00b7 Daily and weekly payment capping ensures customers won\u2019t pay any more than using an Oyster card<\/p>\n Friday 25th July, 2014: EE, the UK\u2019s most advanced digital communications company, today announced its customers will be able to travel on London\u2019s Underground, DLR and Overground networks using their mobile phone when TfL\u2019s contactless program launches on 16th September.<\/p>\n EE is the only UK network provider to offer a contactless payment service, and the extension of Cash on Tap to TfL\u2019s transport network will mean no more queuing to top-up an Oyster card, or rummaging around a handbag first thing in the morning. Developed in partnership with MasterCard, Cash on Tap will also avoid the issue of card clash \u2013 where gates may not open if customers have more than one contactless card in their purse or wallet.<\/p>\n The service will use EE\u2019s free Cash on Tap mobile contactless payment service app, which is due to be compatible with over 500,000 customers\u2019 handsets this year. There will be no added charges for using Cash on Tap to pay for travel, and both daily and weekly caps ensure customers won\u2019t pay a penny more than using an Oyster card.<\/p>\n Gerry McQuade, Chief Marketing Officer, EE said: \u201cAs more and more people benefit from the simplicity, convenience and security that mobile contactless payments offer, it\u2019s rapidly becoming clear that the days of the physical wallet are fast becoming numbered.\u201d<\/p>\n Launched in partnership with MasterCard, the Cash on Tap app is available free via the Google Play store and compatible with a range of Android devices direct from EE, including the Samsung Galaxy S5, HTC One and Sony Xperia Z2. EE customers can already use their phone to pay in more than 300,000 shops across the country, including Marks & Spencer, McDonald\u2019s, Caff\u00e8 Nero, Pret A Manger and Greggs.<\/p>\n More information on Cash On Tap is available at ee.co.uk\/cashontap\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The post Pay with your phone on the underground<\/a> is original content from Coolsmartphone<\/a>.
