I will be in an area where my cell provider has no signal, Will apple pay work without a cellular or wifi data connection?
Hi ..
It will work with a Wi-Fi connection.

I thought so, So if I get to a store that does not have WiFi and I don't have a cellular connection I cannot use it. This does not happen very often but thought I would verify.

When you go to a merchant that supports Apple Pay, ask them if it requires Wi-Fi or cellular to complete the transaction.
Wait - if Apple Pay is designed to pay securely, and the credit card information we enter is already stored on the phone, why would the phone need Internet access during a transaction?
No Wi-Fi or cellular connection is required to pay with Apple Pay in stores. If you are fully offline, you won't get any transaction notifications until you get back online, but you will be able to make payments. Apple Pay within apps does require an Internet connection.
this is good to know. So I could be in an Airplane with my phone in "airplane mode". This opens the possibility of the flight attendant having a hand held device to complete the drink or food purchase using my iPhone. Cool.
Does anyone know if there are plans to do this by any airline?
If you don't see a transaction notification right away, you may not be aware of duplicate charges until later > Apple Pay is double charging some customers.
Better to be able to report the problem to the merchant at the time of the transaction.
If that's the case, will the new iPod Touch 6th gen. also come with Apple Pay functionality?

"The iPod huh?" - Apple
Don't count on an NFC chip getting baked into the 6th generation ipod touch. Don't even count on a 6th gen ipod touch! It's an all-but-dead product line.
data connection required?
