Summary
There were mixed responses from my query about devices for contactless payments.
Credo, although reasonably detailed, lost points for his overall lack of enthusiasm and unprofessionalism.
Chris from Vodafone was better,but he was rather blunt and could have done with a bit of cheering up.
Steve from Three was much better than, going as far as to give a demonstration on his own device.
Monz knew what he was talking about and offered several choices to choose from.He was very detailed and cheerful.
However, EE’s Ola takes the top spot this time. She took the time to explain the many features of both the iPhone and Samsung and I left with a decent idea of what the major differences between both devices were.
