Can you retro fit NFC?

Was a bit gutted that my phone didn't come with NFC so was wondering if there is any way to retro fit it once more places are using NFC? I saw there was maybe sd cards coming out that gave NFC capabilities.
Cheers

Orange are putting it on their SIMs for their new 'Quick Tap' system.

Having just watched that video, it would seem that 'quicktap' works on a similar.premise to 'bump'? As in, by tapping the phone onto another device, a connection is made?

That's essentially what NFC does. It creates a connection when it comes into close proximity to another compatible device or 'tag'

Xperia x10a not unlockable?

I called at&t to get unlock code and they said there isn't one for that phone. Is that true? I need the unlock code so I can use the phone as mp3 player. My current service provider is sprint. I don't know anyone with GSM provider. I can't use the phone unless sim card is inserted. So what should I do?

check the location for which the app is showing weather and time for.
for some reason it's not always very good at updating your current location.

[Q] Can't Make or Receive Calls on AT&T Galaxy Mega i527 after UNLOCKING

Hi all, I am at my wits end with this.
I have an unlocked, rooted Galaxy Mega i527. Everything works fine . I have 4G LTE data on both Tmobile and AT&T sim but i cannot make or receive calls via the native phone dialer.
The only way i use the phone now is with a 3rd party voip/google voice app. Calling via google voice directly without the 3rd party app does not work.
I do not know what is wrong and i will really appreciate any help that you guys can render.
Merry Xmas
I have also re-flashed the stock rom found on this thread via Odin:

Data call failure

Hey guys I just bought an evo LTE for 25 bucks off somebody. I'm planning on just using it as an mp3 player and root and screw with it. Is there any way to shut off the data call failure warning?
I appreciate the help. The phone isn't rooted. I may do that tonight.
