Near Field Communication (NFC)
Technology
NFC (Near Field Communication) technology is a short-range, wireless technology that
lets you quickly and wirelessly exchange information between your phone and other NFC-
enabled smartphones, smart accessories, and NFC-enabled access points. You can also
use NFC technology to save, view, create, or change smart tags.
Depending on the applications that you have added to your phone, you might be able to
use your phone as a transit pass or as an access pass, by tapping the back of your phone
against an NFC-enabled access point, subject to applicable terms and conditions from the
particular vendor.
To use NFC technology on your phone, your phone must be within approximately 0.78 in. (2 cm)
of the NFC-enabled smartphone, smart accessory, NFC-enabled access point, or smart tag that
you want to exchange information with. When information is transferred over an NFC connection,
your smartphone vibrates.
