So is it possible to top up your Google Wallet balance here in the UK?
I know you have to have an american postal address on your credit card, just wondering if there is any way around this?
EDIT:
Ok, so after getting a better response on Google+ than here I have a few suggestions:

Thanks to Jon Laslow and Simon Jones for the suggestions us unlocked looks like the best option

>>> No!!!<<<<
DO NOT USE USUNLOCKED or other similar cards!!!!
As I wrote extensively in another thread, I've tried it. It does not work. Google will not support this yet because the card is slightly different.

Ok, but could you please elaborate on that ? What have you actually tried, what happened, etc. etc. ?
You get a credit card with a valid address, postal code, even a phone number.
While this may all look ok while you're entering it in, when you actually go to add the funds, it says that it didn't work and asks you to try again.
There is no error code, it just asks you to do it again. I have tried it repeatedly with all manner of combinations of getting the address right etc.
What I want to know, is if any US resident with an ACTUAL US card can fill their hacked GSM Google Wallet. SERIOUSLY <--- we need to know.

I will try the usunlocked card now. I am in Europe and have an European GSM Galaxy Nexus. I have managed to install and get working all the google apps and markets with provider faking and us VPN address, without using any hacked apps. Movies market doesn't tell me my phone is rooted like it does on my Nexus One, but it tell me none of my cards are valid for movies. I haven't tried to add founds to top up on my 10$ wallet account. When the usunlocked validation process is finished I will try that as well as renting movies. Will report back.

Oh, this I want to hear. To come back with a result please.
Waiting for the first deposit to arrive that will activate the card. They say it will take 2-4 days, but not sure how that will turn out now during the holidays. But the minute I receive the confirmation I will get at it.

Dude... the fourth response in this thread explicitly states that USunlocked does not work...? Or am I missing something?
I don't have a hacked wallet app. I don't think it matters much though since I think the problem lays with the type of card used. But anyway my main reason for trying this is to be able to buy music and rent movies, I hope they aren't so strict there.

If you just transfer manually from your bank account 20$ to the Google pre-paid card account number that is written in Wallet, does it work ?
not sure if it as simple as transferring money to the account number....
Hopefully someone finds a virtual credit card that works!

Then, can somebody in the US call the phone number shown in Wallet and ask them if a "friend" from outside US can transfer money manually so that the money eventually show up in Wallet account ?
The USunlocked card didn't work with me either, got the usual "funds not added". But it do work for renting movies and buying music, and that was what I hoped for. No stress with wallet here yet, not a single place to use it.

Where do you live?
I was jw how long it would be before we get a working version of wallet again since Google implemented a root checker. I remember that Google videos checked for root access but a work around was made. Could the same work around be made for wallet?

My wallet works fine with root?
I was just coming to post about this, here is my question:
Has anybody that is getting the "unsupported device" notification at the top of the Google Wallet home screen actually tried using Google Wallet yet? We're you successful?
As for a root workaround, OTA RootKeeper works just fine for me on other apps.. Google Video & Flixster. Problem is, Google Wallet isn't actually checking root, it's checking something else.. Maybe ROM version or kernel version?.
Sure it's prob a good idea Google warn that root+Wallet might not be the most secure. but is it "unsupported" as in, "if you can't get it working or if negative things happen because of root we are not responsible"? Or "unsupported" as in "if you try to use this on a rooted device we will not let you and you will look foolish at the store"? It's not very clear about that..

Sure, in the past every bodies has, this is a new topic regarding the "unsupported device" yellow flag on the GW home screen. This will just appear magically as of yesterday. No update of GW is needed/required to get this "unsupported" tag, it has just mysteriously appeared with little to no explaination of what it means.
I'm still just having the "Prepaid is unavailable" error. I can't wait for something else to come and actually work. GW fails atm.
Just checked with Google CS. Unsupported means that it soon not work at all.

I get the unsupported device as well 4.0.4 rooted. I might try and go to 4.0.4 without root and see what happens (if it makes a difference)

I also just spoke with GW CS, according to what I was told "unsupported" means if there is a glitch in the app causing it to not work correctly (pressing a button does not work and so on..), Google is not responsible for troubleshooting the app. Google Wallet should continue to function properly on rooted devices. Google currently has no plans of making Google Wallet unusable on rooted devices. If you lose your phone, you can still cancel/ retrieve your funds, in the words of the rep I spoke with "Your money is your money". so not sure who you spoke with or why you were told different than me, but according to the rep I just got off the phone with you are incorrect.
My 2 cents...
VZW just replaced my GN because I was having radio problems (they screwed me with a refurb .9 hardware, but that is another story...)
On my first GN I just sent back after a wipe, I was using both the officially supported Citi Mastercard and the Google Prepaid card.
When I got my replacement, I couldn't re-add my Citi Mastercard and my Google Prepaid card was showing the "free" $10 credit, but I actually had more than that amount as a pre-paid balance because I had added funds to it.
So, I called Google/Citi support and they had to do something on their end to allow me to add my Citi MasterCard back on the phone, because when I was trying to do it myself it kept giving me an error that my info was incorrect. So, Citi customer service was able to fix that and I now have my credit card registered.
However, I still can't add funds to the Google Pre-Paid card from either another credit card or a rebate gift card I have. I spoke to Google about that and they said that at this time, you cannot add funds to the pre-paid account because they are issuing an update for the wallet app by the end of this week.
Hope that helps someone else...

I was able to add $20 to my Google Pre-Paid card a few hours ago. Several days ago I tried to use my VZW "referral" rebate card that VZW sent me and it wouldnt add the funds. I'm about to run down to the Walgreens now and try to make a purchase. I don't expect I will have any problems but if I do I will report them back here.

Not me, I got the latest APK but get the carrier/device not supported message. Wonder if anyone can modify something to get this working... works on a Galaxy Nexus over here...
you have 709 posts and you still can't figure out that the development section is not for questions?
i guess it didnt work before 2020 in austria
Did u develop some..Or are u asking some....
Mmmhhh where to put this then.....
***************
Tried the latest apk, changed my build.prop so it thought I was a galaxy nexus and set my locale to T-Mobile USA. It kept coming up am error saying I needed a Google employee account ([email protected]) to use the app on my device.
Gave up after that.
For Google wallet to work in the uk we need Google to support uk banking... And it hasn't... If we could set up nfc to copy the tag in contactless cards then maybe we'll have something similar but until then I think we're stuck with cash and cards. And in my opinion... I don't mind. I wouldn't want to lose my phone or have it get stolen and then the thrifty uses it to buy stuff.

I'm pretty sure it wouldn't work because it would detect your carrier as a Canadian one and would just say unsupported.

It is restricted and is locked by your location although I'm sure there are some applications that can mock your location.

You CAN use it. You just need to be using something like MarketEnabler, which makes your device look like it's using an American carrier.
Try Tim Hortons, they have Pay Pass.

It will work anywhere that has Mastercard PayPass terminals... off the top of my head they have them at McDonald's and Tim Horton's although I have never seen one work at Timmy's (not NFC, my regular PayPass cards never register with their terminals).
Market Enabler?

Do you have a link to an up-to-date Market Enabler? Something that works with Jelly Bean and the Play Store? I've been digging through threads looking for one, and I can't find an official thread for one. There's one called "Market Access" (sorry, I don't have enough posts to include an outside link here) that will apparently do it, but I'm hesitant to install something from a random link.

Try to add money to your Google prepaid card. It did not work for me, even if my Canadian Visa has a US billing address. I think it detects the institution who released the card and blocks it. I purchased my Nexus directly from Google Play, using the same card. From what I heard, they detect also if your phone is rooted or non-stock ROM:
We strongly discourage gaining system-level "root" access to your phone if you plan to use Google Wallet. We are unable to support devices with unauthorized operating systems as the security layers of the device may be limited.

My phone is not rooted, and it does not work on Bell network:
It does work properly when I use my T-Mobile SIM card:
I used the market enabler, but it says my Nexus S is not supported by Google Wallet. Is that so? I don't see why since the The Nexus S has NFC just like the GNEX.
how long did it take you guys to set up... mines bee "verifying your account" for about 10 mins now...

Do you really think Google is that stupid to allow adding a credit card with a fake address like others are trying to do?
Anyways, I have a Canadian credit card with an official US billing address on it. Guess what, Wallet does not work at all on Bell. Even if I put my T-Mobile SIM card on the phone, I'm pretty sure it will not work also with a Canadian card as the financial institution is not registered into Google's Money Network.
We have to wait like every one else... until Google decides to open Wallet in Canada, if it will.
At the rate they open products in Canada, we should have it enabled in about 10 years.
Ya I agree. Its stupid. Sorry Google but USA isn't the only country in the world. This the usa likes to think so. Lol

I successfully added a non-US VISA card, but it won't let me use it on an actual PayPass-compatible terminal. It wasn't working with the prepaid card, mind you, so I'm not even sure it matters. I'm planning to go to the US in late september, I'll check if it works there.

It will work for some rewards cards but it won't port over categories like gas and groceries for AMEX.
It keeps saying it can't add my card. I'm guessing it's the secure element thing still. Oh well.

The new google wallet no longer uses the secure element. Make sure you reset google wallet via the in app interface before uninstalling any previous version, modded or not.

Did you try wiping data after the update? thats what I had to do. My card is added, but will have to test later.
Ok, got the app working on a Vodafone GSM Galaxy Nexus, added both a Visa and a Mastercard with a US address, but when I touch the Select card below the respective card, a pop-up appears: "Error Please try again.". Ideas ?
Is there a list of store to see who takes this?
Could someone pull the apk for us internationals to download? Please?
Just use Market Enabler from Play to switch to T-Mobile, then the app will become visible in Play and you can carry on from there.
As for the "Error, Please try again" when trying to set a Visa/Mastercard as Enabled ? Anyone ?
Yeah, I did a fresh install and reset within the app. Still a no go through. I'll try and wipe data within settings. I really hope I can get it working since I never got it working on the Wallet app before.
