[Q] What actually blocks google wallet? - General Questions and Answers

I have a N3 with T-Mobile obviously the tap and pay doeant work.
What stops it? Is it coded into the phone? Is it the sim card? I was talking to a rep at a store and he said he can get non isis cards. Will that enable it?

NFC Payment Transactions

So I have one of the new Nokia Lumia 1020's from Rogers. I recently picked up one of the Secure SIM's (SureTap SIMs), that supposedly support NFC transactions for payments.
Activated the card, it's all working. However I still don't have an option to enable NFC payments under the MS Wallet App?
Anyone have any experience with this?

It's not for that it is for their own, I believe, CIBC app. As far as I know they still haven't released the Windows Phone app for it.

Actually, most NFC based payments require a SIM card with a "Secure Element" to store CC information inside of and handle the encryption separately.
The CIBC app uses the same technology. Looks like the wallet app simply isn't provisioned on my carrier.

Sure I agree google wallet is the final winner, but just want to take advantage of the limited 20% credit (until 1/31) via isis wallet, any body managed to get isis working on nexus?

ISIS wallet can be only installed with ISIS compatible phone its both a software and hardware implementation of the sim and the software inside the phone itself, the nexus 5 being pure stock google does not have the software and hardware implementation of the Secure element in the sim because in Android 4.4+ Google emulates the secure element while isis uses a physical chip that's integrated into the "ISIS SIM"
So in short.... wont work.
Try borrow someones phone like a Galaxy s3 or whatever those phones are ISIS compatible..

I would suggest he try if he has AT&T or Tmobile. You can download the isis app from the playstore and the phone itself doesn't require a secure element because that is contained within the sim. He will need to obtain the advanced sim from his carrier tho. I see no reason why it shouldn't work, so long as he has AT&T or Tmobile.

I see no reason either, except it does not work.
Took Isis apk from my LG G2 and put it on Nexus 5, tried to install, got "application not installed" message.
T-mo is the carrier.

[Q] Softcard Wallet (formerly ISIS)

Help please! I've been searching everywhere for and found some helpful tips on how to install Softcard (ISIS) Wallet on N5, but I cannot locate an .apk for current (or even previous) version of Softcard. Can anyone help?
TIA
Um Google wallet...?

I'm aware of Google Wallet - I'm trying to get Softcard to work.
Why?
I'm interested in Softcard and similar type of payments. From what I've read, it is still in beta testing in limited markets, two cities I believe. You need a special sim card from your carrier to support it. Plan is to roll it our at the end of the year to more areas but that has slipped so many times, I'm not planning to see it soon.
The last time I read something about nexus and Isis it said nexus wasn't supported by Isis. But I'm not sure if there are any ways to make it work. I signed up for Isis to take advantage of the free $50 american express serve thing and I just put that card on google wallet
Depends on which carrier you are with:

There are a bunch of vending machines near me that are ISIS only, even though they have the paypass and other branding on them. That was annoying.

did you ever get this? I have both the AT&T and TMO apk's, but can't get them to install on 5.0.+ probably don't work with ART.

[Q] Cut current LG G3 micro sim to nano or get new one - Verizon

My carrier is Verizon. I have an individual plan with a 2 year contract. My phone is an LG G3.
I recently just bought a Nexus 6 right off of the Google Store. The Nexus 6 takes a nano Sim card and unfortunately for me my current Verizon sim card in my LG G3 is a micro sim.
After going back and forth with Verizon I realized there is no official way of getting a nano sim card for a Nexus 6 IMEI bought directly from Google.
My unnoficial options:
1. Get a sim card cutter off of Amazon and cut my current sim card and put it in my Nexus 6. Then sell my LG G3 on EBay. When the next user gives the IMEI to a Verizon rep will this cause a problem since technically the IMEI / Sim number combo is still on my account?
2. An employee at a 3rd party Verizon reseller said he could just activate a new nano sim card using an IMEI number from a dummy iPhone that he has laying around. If I go this route my account will have an iPhone and a G3 on it I guess. Would I have to worry if the employee does the same thing for someone else? Does Verizon keep track of IMEIs or just device names on peoples accounts? If I go this route I will also be selling my G3 on EBay.
Can someone who has knowledge on this topic please tell me which path they would prefer and why? I would like to know the downsides of each method.
I'm on Verizon and I always buy my phones outside of Verizon store (just because used phones are cheaper).
Option 1: As long as you did not report your phone as being stolen or your account is getting blocked due to non-pay, your ESN is clean and can be activated with Verizon on other account. Once you put activated SIM card into your new phone, the old phone is getting removed from your account automatically because Verizon will get your new phone's information.
Option 2: Should not have any issues too, because you are getting the new SIM card assigned on your account and re-assigned with your phone, not the phone used to activate it. The same as above, you'll see the old iPhone on your account until you put the SIM card into your phone.
