I don’t need a cell-phone sending a wirless signal that will (it will happen, everything else has been hacked)be able to be read by a hacker. What happens when your phone is left behind in a resturant or bar? You won’t be able to notify the bank (remember, you don’t have the phone nor the contact number to do it, that’s in your cell phone ‘contact’ list). Now when you get home you will search for the number to report your cell phone’s lost and to put a stop to the charge card. But how much has been charged to your account before you had a chance to notify the bank? If I remember correctly, it is $250 that you are liable for til you contact the card issuer. How about the time you ‘wave’ your phone to pay your charge, but the signal gets picked up by another terminal and you pay someone elses bill!!
