Mary, It's been awhile since I set up the credit card I use with Apple Pay in my iPhone but I had to first add it to my Passbook. When I've used Apple Pay at Walgreens and McDonald's, I first have to select the applicable credit card in my Passbook and then make sure my appropriate finger is on the home touch ID button before I hold the phone near the reading device to record the purchase. I don't know if this procedure is the same for everyone or if I set up certain settings for it to work this way.

I am intrigued by the notion of paying for something from your lock screen. On the other hand, it seems awfully insecure. Say someone steals your phone and walks into a store. As I understand it, all you have to do if you have wallet from the lock screen enabled, is walk up to the register and hold your phone near the special NFC reader, and presto. Your credit card is charged. Surely, there is something more to it, something I am missing. Mary Sent from my iPhone -- The following information is important for all members of the VIPhone list.
