Google Wallet

Hey guys, I'm confused on this google wallet . You have to have one of those cards to use it? U can't just set up your debit card? That kinda sucks I thought it was for any card?

You can add money to the google prepaid card with any type of card you already have and use that for purchases. Citi Mastercard is the only card you can use directly.
Is that google pre paid card something built into your account? Or something you ha e to go get?

Google play location spoof ?

Hello,
I just bought my s3. A while back I read you can spoof the market location so it allows you to buy apps not available in your region? I currently reside in the middle east and I want to buy games like dead space and fifa 12. But it's nor available and I have a moral ethic against cracked apps. Any work around solution? Because my visa card is still registered in a middle eastern country so is my gmail account

I have used Market Enabler from the Market in the past.

I've always wondered if the country the credit card is registered to matters. For example, market enabler plus a non-US credit card?

Exactly what I was wondering. Will I get banned or the app made unusable because my payment will be going in a foreign currency?

Why should you get banned. No different than inserting a foreign SIM card, purchasing on Google Play and then reinserting your original SIM.

My google play account was initiated in the US has a US credit card and when traveling I am always placed in the foreign country's play market paying foreign currencies.
What about using a European credit card with a US Google Play account?

Resetting Google Wallet will end Prepaid Card?

Got an email saying if I reset Wallet after Sept 17, that I'd no longer be able to add prepaid card.

They have decided to discontinue the prepaid card since you can now add any card
Either spend that money or request a refund. Not really that big of a deal.

I have two SIM cards.

So I bought this DNA at best buy and the guy gave me two SIM cards, the one currently installed and another one. Can I remove the SIM card and put in the new one and it will go back to pre OTA? Or does the SIM card have nothing to do with it?

Nothing at all. Sim card just connects you to the network.

It also stores phone contacts
It can store contacts. That's more of a hold over feature from the pre-smart phone days. Honestly if you have an android phone and you're not syncing your contacts with google than you're doing something wrong. (I suppose there may be tin-foil hat wearing people out there that don't want to give google that information, but considering what you're giving them just by using an android phone those people should probably avoid the platform entirely). Even if you were planning to switch from an android to an iPhone it would make more sense to just import your google contacts in iOS than use the SIM to transfer them.

Isis

I been looking around for Google wallet alternatives since I just got my one. And saw Isis and how you need a Isis ready SIM card so I went on att.com and there weren't any. So I started searching.... It looks as if att isn't selling them anymore could they have givin up and maybe give us Google wallet in the coming update ?

Isis hasn't rolled out nationally. Only a handful of test cities. You can only access it and get a Sim card if you are in one of those markets.
Also if you're rooted, it won't even let you open ISIS.
This sucks I really want Google wallet

I miss google wallet also.. Not because it was very practical, but for the shock value and conversation starter that it was. There is nothing like using it at stores and having the employees watch in amazement!!!
