One day i was doing some work and put my phone on top of my wallet and it beeps. I was so scared and repeated it many many times and it beeps. Even restarted my phone and still the beeping goes.

Only after several long minutes did i realise it was scanning my Mykad in my wallet haha tongue.gif

Since that it occur to me the possibilities are endless. Wish one day I dont have to carry a wallet anymore and can pay for things via my phone thumbup.gif

to be honest, NFC is solely a re-packaged version of contactless chips...nothing more than that, the only difference is that the readers are linked to the phone and is further processed from there...though in theory, any phone with USB OTG enabled should be able to install and use contactless readers, provided it has the drivers for it...

but as for, it being able to read the MyKad, i am somewhat skeptical about it, as I believe the MyKad is solely a contact chip..the MyKad has TnG on it, high chance it is reading that instead..

Well it was my first week after having the S3 and I was really dumbfounded by the beeping sound. Wasnt aware of the such vast array of NFC use at that time. I was like Wow this phone is scanning my Mykad/TnG card for real haha.

Anyways I am still wishing this can be an alternative to carrying wallet anywhere but I do realise security issue is still loom large especially here in Malaysia.
