I thought I read something on here in the past, but can't find it.
Does anyone know how to add funds to the pre-paid google mastercard, when you live in Canada and have only a Canadian credit card.
I tried filling in the fields that ask for your state, and zip code with made up numbers but since they don't match the card it didn't process the money. Does anyone know of a way to use a Canadian credit card to fund the pre-paid google card?
I saw it also some where although at the time, there still was not a fix for you silly Canadians.

So I'm trying to get in on T-Mobile's monthly 4g plans with my new G2X I purchased but T-Mobile refuses every credit or debit card I give them for some stupid reason. So, I need to buy one of the SIM card activation kits from somewhere else. I found them on amazon but I don't want to get the wrong one. It needs to have a SIM card that works with the phone and an activation number.
Here's the one found on T-Mobile's site: http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/prepaid-phone/T-Mobile-Prepaid-SIM-Activation-Kit

You can go into Walmart and pick one up. Hell I've seen em in gas stations.

I recently got Google Wallet onto my Galaxy Nexus, and got a free Google Prepaid Debit Card. See, well I don't have a real credit card or anything, and I want to be able to get free apps on the Amazon App Store. I heard one trick is to register a completely used debit card with your account and you can get the free apps. So is there a way to get the real number for my Google Prepaid Debit Card? I don't think it is the ID because I just made a purchase Google wallet and the last 4 digits on my receipt is different from the ID.
I'm going to check it so wait
I don't have paypal and am having grief setting up a pay-as-you-go credit card for Google Play and I want to donate to the developers who without which I wouldn't have been able to unlock my phone and or learn about programming Android devices (apps, ROMS, etc...) so that I can one day do the same as them. I didn't have the money to be about to donate before and now I have a few bux I wanted to give them some for all their hard work and because I believe in they way they do what they erm do. Sorry about the cliche am tired. lol Anywho thanks for any help. And short of contacting them individually I don't know what to do about it.:crying:
in my country you can buy some legal paypal funds..
do you at least have a debit card cuz you can donate via paypal even if you don't have an account, you just need a debit card or you can buy one of those prepaid visa or mastercard in a supermarket, pharmacy, etc.

I do have a debit card and it's also a pay-as-you-go VISA but it doesn't work for Google play or any of the places online that I have tried to use it. Ironically it is why I got it in the first place. lol. I don't have PayPal account. I sold something on eBay and was naive and skimped on cheaper shipping without a tracking number, and because the buyer said he didn't get the item they sided in his favor, so I can't use them. I have a friend that buys parts/etc for me on eBay for me but that doesn't help for Google play and buying/donating to apps. I am in Canada so if you know of a prepaid visa or service I can use to load my Google play account please let me know and I will get it. That way I can get the donate keys for the apps and pay for the XDA app etc...
I'm unsure if this is the best place for this thread, so move if needed...
Just before getting my Nexus 7, my wife and I finally paid off all our credit cards and got rid of them all. I expected that if I wanted to purchase something from the Play Store, I could simply use a prepaid Visa/Mastercard (I don't purchase many apps, so I can deal with silly fees on these things).
Anyway, I've had various friends tell me that they've never been able to get these to work on the store. So, I'm asking you....do you know of any prepaid cards that will work on the Play Store in Canada?
Thanks.
Not sure about the "Gift" type of prepaid cards work, but I have a Visa Titanium (pre-paid, reloadable) from MoneyMart that I use for online shopping and I can confirm that it works with the Play Store.

Thanks, I'll look into that.
I use Mastercard Vanilla cards (prepaid) and then just register them to the USA.
Believe it or not, 90210 counts as a valid zip code! (like the show haha)
Anyways, register it on the Mastercard Site, (just Google Mastercard vanilla) and then go to the play store, add funds and enter the card number.
Works for me like a charm, hopefully works for you!

Welp, decided to answer my own question.
I picked up a $25.00 Visa Gift Card from my local grocery store, and it works perfectly.
All that's needed is to register the card with your name and address on the issuer's site. Google then allowed the card to be added in Wallet easily.
The one I purchased had a $3.95 upfront fee and no other fees after that. So, that's fair enough in my book.
Just wondering if this is possible to use in Canada. I know Samsung has the Beep 'n Go app that seemed to work pretty well. However google wallet is still not available in Canada to use.
Google hates Canada. Its true...and I'm not flaming, I'm in Canada too.
Can't tell Google now to play my music, cause I don't live in the states. I mean wow. Lol

What's with the Google hate for Canada? I also noticed we can't get the Google Play Now Unlimited or whatever
Is it more that the Banks and Credit card companies in Canada are not willing to support Google Wallet? Remember that Canadian adoption of advanced financial options like debit cards far exceeded the US for a long time. That would mean that Canadian financial institutions want you to use their already established methods such as the Interact terminals you see at a Tim Hortons. Can those devices support tap to pay from a phone? I already see people use credit card tap to pay at my local grocery store but only if you are using a specific credit card company.

RBC / Bell allow the Galaxy S3 and S4 to use your phone to tap to pay, but requires a nfc sim card and doesn't actually work yet, but does promise the same support for future phones if they decide to bless them. Insert disgusted sarcastic smiley. (Sounds stupid to me, all you should need to use in that scenario is the nfc sim to tap and pay, the phone is irrelevant other than setup. How about using a NFC ring instead of a phone? Attach an NFC sticker to your finger, done, real tap and pay.)
There is no hate for Canada, Google is a US based company and caters to the US market.
