At the recently concluded, Unpacked event, Samsung unveiled its latest flagship smartphones the Galaxy S6 edge+ and the Galaxy Note 5. Alongside the announcement, the company revealed that its payment system which was announced at an earlier event, would soon be made available in the United States.
Now, Samsung has set up an official registration page for interested users to try out Samsung Pay in the US. Participating carriers listed by Samsung include AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and US Cellular.
