1.2. What is NFC technology?
Near Field Communications (NFC) is a new, short-range wireless connectivity technology that 
simplifies the way consumer devices interact with one another, making it easy to receive and 
share information and even make fast and secure payments. 
Mobile phones with NFC capabilities can be used in the same way as physical contactless cards 
with existing payment services such as Visa payWave and Touch ‘n Go.
The NFC enabled Nokia 6212 classic mobile phone has a built-in NFC antenna to communicate 
with other contactless devices and contactless readers, and also contains an embedded secure 
computer chip, which stores payment applications such as Visa payWave and Touch ‘n Go.
An introduction to NFC is also available in the Nokia 6212 classic mobile phone user guide.
