How to fix "Unable to connect to Samsung Pay temporarily"?
Samsung Pay requires a SIM card to work, and it requires it on the first boot.

My solution was to put the SIM card in and then reset* the phone.

When it started with a SIM card in it, I saw "Samsung pay Sweden" pinned to the home screen (Swedish SIM card). It then worked flawlessly.



Why isn't this bug fixed yet one could ask, but there you have it.



Why didn't I have a SIM card in when I first booted it? I had to order a new micro SIM from my operator which took a week to get delivered.



* Reset it to factory defaults, wipe it clean. I guess you have everything in the cloud anyway.
