The actual device is NFC enabled, but the NFC is only use for pairing. Once it is paired NFC isn't used any more. The mat is just a piece of sticky rubber.

Buahahahhah! No. No it does not. Apple has released 3 phones since NFC (near field communication) started to become really useful in a phone, but they have not put NFC on their phones. God only knows why. No, if you want cutting edge capability like this, you need an Android phone. HTC, LG, Samsung, and Motorola's flagship phones all support NFC, but I think these specific tags only work with Samsung. There are several NFC tags on Amazon that will work with all manufacturers though. Except Apple of course.

It says it has NFC...But honestly I don't really use it so I can't confirm it. Otherwise, very good battery. :)

seeing that the iphone 6 is not out yet not tested but in theory they should work. NFC are read by Magenctic feilds emmited by the phone. It allows them to store data like a flash drive. these inpartculer have small data size so you can store an id# or ulr but nothing more. So you have to get an app that will do things with the number that is given.

This is an older thread but I see a lot of "nearly" correct answers. So here is what it actually means when a battery says Non-NFC. NFC is a very low power communication protocol used to transfer or "read" small payloads. The down side to NFC is that it requires a rather large antenna compared to other transmitters found in phones. The answer is to have the NFC chip integrated into the phone itself and to use the casing of the battery to wrap a large foil antenna in. Since the chip is inside the phone circuitry and the battery is essentially external a tx/rx connection is made through an additional pin on the battery of "NFC" equipped batteries (meaning batteries with the antenna integrated". To close, if a phone is NFC capable the circuitry is inside the phone. If a battery is NFC capable it means it has a fourth pin and an antenna wrapped around it used to communicate with the NFC chip.

Yes. It also depend on your country carrier network if they have 3G technology. NFC is a different technology on it own. Only works in certain countries

I bought a nexus 4 3 months ago and yes, the tags work with it. The NFC Task Launcher app may say that it could not write to the chip, but it actually does.

As you can see on the product image, the battery says "Near Field Communication.". The NFC coil is on the back of the battery so it's very close to the back of the phone (just underneath the battery cover).To enable (in Android 4.3, the last version supported by the Galaxy Nexus): Settings -> Wireless & Networks / More ... -> NFC (make sure it's checked)Hope this helps. --PSRC

Unfortunately, no. Apple has yet to see the potential of NFC (one of the many reasons I stand by Android). Sorry :/

Hi, basically, it´s not supported. It means, that the result can not be predicted by manufactures.

Is the receiver that will cause problems with the NFC not the charger you need to make sure you buy a receiver that is compatible with NFC

There are Anker batteries that is exactly the same with NFC capabilities. I'm not promoting anyhow, just making sure. I never have tried the NFC function on my smartphone.

Reports suggest that the NFC chip in the new iPhone devices will only work with "ApplePay". At the moment there doesn't seem to be any software API's available to allow for use of NFC tags and other NFC type devices.

No. The case is working fine with NFC on my Galaxy S3. NFC is available without problems.

Probably. As long as the firmware for NFC communication devices on both ends is the same build version, assuming they use the same standard protocol. You should talk to Sony tech support/sales for a definitive answer.

NFC is - by design - short distance. Though it can read "RFID" if you want long range try "active RFID" or "medium range RFID" or "long range RFID"
