Yea I heard about the app, just sucks I can't buy it for a laptop and just use the usb based adapter I already have. I've always been a fan of hard wired communication over wireless. The other factor is, I have no payment info stored on my cellphone, not a fan of having that data roaming around either lol. Might seem overly cautious, but it's still not enough, I had my main bank debit/credit card number stolen somehow and the thief charged around $250 on it. I got most of the transactions reversed since it was caught quickly. I always use guest checkout online or even better paypal so the idea is the credit card details aren't stored anywhere, but either some site that forced me to make an account stored the info, or some site stored it even though I checked out as a guest and clearly the site got hacked and the info sold.
Over seas I heard they get one time use numbers, or they can set a limit per month for the number for monthly bills. Never heard of anything like that in the USA though. Sounds perfect for online spending. I think storing personal info of customers should be illegal without express permission of the person. There's no reason a company needs to keep your address, credit card info, etc after a transaction is completed besides to spam the person with promotional material which pushes me away from those companies as I hate spam/ads. I give a junk phone number to stores when they ask, saying no thanks gets annoying, every time they have to ask. I guess I should do similar for email since it's getting annoying always saying no to that question too.
