Is there a way to get Google wallet in Canada?
I know Rogers is partnering with CIBC and Bell with RBC. But is there a app like Google wallet which does the same thing but in Canada??
There is no way to get google wallet in Canada at the moment (play store won't let it be downloaded out side if the US)
What would happen if next time you were in the States and you picked up a prepaid Visa gift card, could you then download the wallet app and activate the card for payment while still In the USA. And the bigger question would it still work once you get back to Canada
What about those who have dual citizenship? Can they get use of the Wallet app, say, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday?
Americans don't try to steal your universal healthcare, so don't steal their exclusive Wallet app j/k
Well i tried it on my GPE HTC one with android 4.4 at metro the other day. It did not work. I got a message telling me international transactions are not supported. The app however was easy to setup. I just added my US based google account and it let me download the wallet app off of the play store. I added my canadian CC with a us billing address.

Login to the web and somewhere in your account settings you should be able to access shopper and then set whatever you can in it as far as payment methods. It's been a long time since I messed with it, but I think they sent an email saying they had or were going to incorporate shopper and wallet together.

They explicitly said that the Google prepaid "card" would be limited to NFC purchases only, and not enabled for use via any other route.
With the latest version of Wallet they announced that Citi prepaid Mastercards could now be used online, but they did not say there has been any change with the Google "card".
If you find that you are able to use the Google $10 credit in any other way, that would be great, but I think the whole point was to limit it to NFC use from the outset.
The Isis Mobile Wallet was announced yesterday in limited rollout to Austin and Salt Lake City for now. http://news.paywithisis.com/
What struck me as interesting is the reference to needing to got to an AT&T store and pick up a new "secure element SIM". Since I don't live in one of those cities, I'm wondering where I can find more details about this SIM and if it's something that can be used to finally bring Google Wallet support to our phones.

Unfortunately it will not. The Google Wallet only works on embedded secure elements that are contained in the certain phones like the SGS3 and Galaxy Nexus. The new AT&T/Isis SIM can be used with Isis Mobile Wallet only (unless both of these conditions happen: 1) AT&T decides to let the Google Wallet into their secure element (SE) AND 2) Google is willing to pay the "rental" fees to get into the AT&T secure element. My bet is that Neither will happen.
So, for the Skyrocket, it will be Isis or nothing. However, given that the Skyrocket does have NFC and (being based on the Galaxy S2 line) *should* have SWP (Single Wire Protocol...it is a physical connection between the NFC system and the SE on the SIM), there is a good bet it will be enabled and you can get one when it is released to a wider audience.
AT&T has is app blocked doesn't appear in the play store.

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.
Hi,
My Nexus 5 was purchased from the U.S. Play store, paid for with a U.S. card and delivered to a U.S. address. (my American colleague helped me out with all this!). My Google account was set up in the UK, although I am now living in West Africa, in Ghana to be precise
Google have kindly agreed to replace my handset, which I've managed to get back to the States. They can send me a time-sensitive URL to sort out the replacement process which basically involves entering U.S. card details for payment although no funds are actually removed from the card itself.
The problem is I need to access the U.S. Play store on my notebook so I can properly use the link (which is somehow linked to the U.S. store) but even using a VPN and selecting a U.S. city, I'm not managing to get into the U.S. Play store and see USD prices, still seeing UK
Does anyone have an idea how I can get into the U.S. play store while still based here in Ghana? If you've done something similar before, I would really appreciate some detailed instructions
Thanks!
Anyone here of this? I've got tmobile note 3 and have yet to find a tap and pay option other than Softcard.
"We are pleased to let you know that Google has acquired technology from Softcard to power the next generation of mobile wallets.
What does that mean for you? As of 3/31 your Softcard app will no longer work. You can continue to use the Softcard app until 3/31. After that your Account will be closed.
To keep using a digital wallet app download Google Wallet now.
Sincerely,
The Softcard Team"
Google Wallet > all
well that sucks. i actually like it way more than google wallet. I was able to get my tax refund directly deposited into it.
