Abstract
A method and/or NFC (Near Field Communication) enabled mobile device is provided for executing an electronic contract on NFC enabled mobile devices. The (NFC) enabled mobile device applies an electronic signature thereof in an electronic contract provided on the NFC enabled mobile device used by a first contracting party, where the electronic signature is applied through a secure element of the NFC enabled mobile device. The NFC enabled mobile device determines that the NFC enabled mobile device is not within NFC range to an other NFC enabled mobile device used by a second contracting party to the electronic contract. In response to the NFC enabled mobile device determining that it is not within NFC range to the other NFC enabled mobile device, the NFC enabled mobile device sends, to the other NFC enabled mobile device, a multimedia messaging service (MMS) text message that includes the electronic contract.
