Quick Tap – the system that allows people to purchase items using their mobile phone has been launched in the UK, and its gathering popularity in Europe. To use the service, you will need Orange and Barclaycard accounts as well as a handset that is set up for contactless payments. The service is made possible by Near Field Communication (NFC), the short-range wireless technology that underpins many wireless payment systems.
The NFC enabled Samsung Tocco Lite handset goes on sale Friday 20th May 2011.
Among shops signed up to the system are McDonalds, EAT, Pret-a-Manger and some Boots stores, Subway, Little Chef, Wilkinson and the National Trust.
