When Samsung Pay went live in the United States last month the country's largest mobile network wasn't supporting Samsung's new payments service, the carrier didn't rule out supporting the service completely, but it did make its subscribers wait quite a bit before confirming that it will indeed support Samsung Pay through a future software update. That software update has now started to gradually roll out for compatible devices.

Over the weekend Verizon released a software update containing support for Samsung Pay, the update has arrived on the Galaxy S6, the Galaxy S6 edge, Galaxy S6 edge+ and the Galaxy Note 5. With carrier support now in place Verizon subscribers just to need to configure their card from a supported financial institution to start making mobile payments from their Verizon device. However before they can do that they'll need to wait for the Samsung Pay app to go live in the Google Play Store, unlike other carriers Verizon has decided not to install the app via the software update, so there's still a bit of waiting involved for Big Red's subscribers. Verizon's latest update for Samsung's recent devices also includes a fix for the latest Stagefright vulnerability, which is most certainly a good thing.
