Don't use your mobile phone. If you drop your mobile phone, a spark can be produced when the batteries are knocked loose. This could be hazardous because of the flammable vapours produced by petrol products. If you need to make a call most service stations have a public pay phone.

Risk of incendive sparking - Mobile phones are not designed and certified for use in explosive atmospheres which exist temporarily around the pump and nozzle during refuelling as well as around the fill and vent pipes during petrol deliveries.
Petrol pumps are designed to handle fuel vapours safely. However, the confined space between the fuel nozzle and your vehicle's fuel tank can lead to the accumulation of these vapours. The use of mobile phones, with the potential to generate sparks, increases the risk of igniting these vapours.
So, you're probably wondering why you see “No cell phone” signs all over every pump at the gas station. The National Fire Protection Association requires that they're put up as a precaution. Phones do cause static electricity and just because it hasn't happened yet, that doesn't mean it never could.
While there is no official law prohibiting drivers from using their mobile phones at petrol bowsers – proceed with caution because most service stations risk a fine if customers break this safety rule, and thus will ensure they do everything in their power to avoid this.
No, Apple Pay and Apple Wallet aren't the same, but they work together: Apple Wallet is the app (your digital container) that stores your credit/debit cards, loyalty cards, tickets, and passes, while Apple Pay is the technology/service that uses those cards in the Wallet to make secure, contactless payments in stores, online, and in apps. Think of the Wallet as your physical purse and Pay as the tap-to-pay function.
