Why buy a refurbished phone, when a brand new phone cost - from another manufacturer - can be bought for less? I forgot to add-- you see it on ebay every day. How many $100 brand new smartphones are available. Yet plenty of used or refurbed 4s's change hands at higher prices?.

Survey reports on use of Apple Pay, Android Pay and Samsung Pay in the US More than a quarter of US consumers (27%) with an eligible smartphone have used Apple Pay, Android Pay or Samsung Pay, according to research released by Auriemma Consulting Group (ACG). 39% say they would use mobile payments more if more stores and apps accepted it, while 61% say that they are now replacing cash transactions with mobile payments. “Overall, satisfaction with mobile payments is quite high at 80%, despite complaints about low merchant penetration and inconsistent customer experience at point of sale. Mobile payment has yet to reach the tipping point that will take it from novelty to norm.” More at: nfcworld.com o~~~ O
