Is it safe to use a debit card on mobile internet?

I want to purchase concert tickets and the only internet access i have at the moment is my iphone 5s. Is it safe to buy them using my debit card on my phone? Btw i'm with three. I have never bought anything online before.

My sister had my moms credit card hooked up to her iPhone, and her phone bought apps without her permission, and charged one of the apps, like littlest pet shop or something, added up to over $50. So I wouldn't say it's safe.

If the site itself is trustworthy, it should be just as safe as doing it on a PC.

At least these days, mobile browsers use the same sort of encryption that's used on desktop browsers.

Yes it depends the company, but how much money do you have in your credit card probably a little bit

The consumer protection is in place for all cards, but getting your account emptied is perhaps worse than finding unauthorised credit card entries on your bill. As a matter of safety I don't use debit on line unless I'm very sure of the company and the internet routing.

  • Why does my debit card get declined? I have an iPhone 5 and I've had my debit card linked to it for months and I've had no problems with it and I day I tried downloading a free app but it wouldn't let me cause it said my card was declined. What happened? I tried putting my info in again but that didn't work.
  • Using your debit card on an ipod touch or iphone? If I used my debit card on my ipod touch to by something is it still at risk of being hacked or from someone being able to use it? I'm talking about buying stuff off of safari like on amazon or whatever
  • ITunes isn't accepting my debit card but it used to? My iPhone recently began asking me to enter my debit card details when I'm on iTunes and the APP store… It used to work just fine but even when I enter my security number correctly and all of the other information is correct, apple won't accept it? I'm with Lloyds
  • ITunes is not accepting my debit card I've used it all the time and it worked but my debit card recently expired so now I have a new card just with a new security code and exp date now every time I try to put my information it says that my card didn't work that my payment method was declined? And now I can't update my apps on my iPhone help please!
