One of the most frequently asked questions at Bama Bound is, "What happens if my phone dies? How can I use my ACT Card?"

That's a great question.

Certain phones have Power Reserve functions. This means you can still use your ACT Card even when the device's battery is depleted.

For iPhone X models and newer with Express Mode turned on, double tap the right side button and hold your device with the back camera near the ACT Card reader. While you won't see the ACT Card pull up, your card will still utilize door access, monetary account and event access. This does not work if your iPhone is manually turned off.

If you have a Samsung, you must have NFC enabled on the device and Fast mode enabled in the Samsung Wallet app settings. If NFC and Fast mode are both enabled, the ACT Card will work for up to 15 taps within 24 hours after a device powers down due to low battery or is manually turned off.

If you have another Android device, refer to your specific phone's user manual for instructions about Power Reserve Functions.

There are also device charging stations in many student areas in academic buildings, the UA Student Center and in libraries. The libraries also have phone chargers available to rent.

If you still can't get your ACT Card on your phone to work and it's after-hours, contact UAPD at 205-348-5454 and we can get you a temporary ACT Card until you can get your phone charged.
