Plastic is easy to use, and online systems keep fraud down to a manageable level. Also, who is going to pay $2/month for something that is free if you whip out your plastic. Credit cards do not run out of batteries, and are much more reliable to use than a smart phone. Until card companies make a free app that will allow you to use NFC without any extra costs, this whole ISIS thing is a pipe dream.

They launched this in a tech city like Austin but require me to go to the AT&T store to get it? Forget it. The last time I tried to go in there was 6 years ago. I can do everything online with them. This smells of a lot of friction. But leave it up to the carriers to make it inconvenient.

How is ISIS quicker or better than a contactless product that comes in many form factors (key chain, wrist band etc) ? I am struggling with how is it even better than the good old plastic with magstripe with or without contactless capabilities?

Anyone can use your credit card. I’d have to guess your 4 digit pin in about 4 tries to use ISIS. Also, I’m pretty sure you get the same credit card protection via ISIS that you do on any linked card. If you lose you phone you just call your cell provider who will turn off ISIS.

And does your front door lock down after you try three wrong keys in it?

You just don’t get the fancy discounts and check-ins.

I don’t see this taking off anytime soon. Just ask Google, I mean people loose cell phones all the time and let’s be honest a PIN number on a cell phone is no safer than leaving your keys in your front door. Ill take plastic please!
