Abstract
Methods, computer-readable media and devices for authorizing a pending payment transaction using mobile device roaming status information are disclosed. For example, a method includes a processor receiving an authorization to monitor the roaming status information of a mobile device, sending a request to a cellular service provider network to monitor the roaming status information of the mobile device, and receiving from the cellular service provider network a notification of the roaming status information of the mobile device. The method may further include the processor receiving a notification of a payment transaction of a payment device associated with a user of the mobile device at a payment location and sending an authorization to continue processing the pending payment transaction when the roaming status information indicates that a location of the mobile device corresponds to the payment location.
