When is Google Wallet Coming for Canada? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

So when will Google Wallet be ready for Canada?
Google hinted that it would be released in the first quarter of 2012 and no announcement has even been made yet.
Will us canucks see the day of the Google Wallet soon or will have to wait a year or two?
This got my hopes up but it still hasn't come through. It isn't "early" 2012 anymore.

I keep hearing the banks and the carriers are working on a solution as they all want in on this and that we should be seeing something within the next 6 months here in Canada. It may or may not be Google Wallet per se but some variation of it.

Oh really? Its still been a while though. I'll wait around a bit then

If Google Wallet doesn't come through maybe PayPass Wallet will.

I guess with PayPass wallet there will be less middlemen... so less problems?

Yeah waiting on Google Wallet's Canada debut as well. Bought the GNex for this reason as well. Still nothing. Hope that it comes up North here soon!
Or at least the PayPass wallet brings with it the goodies that were promised with the release of the GNex.

Its only for blackberry phones. Why is Google wallet so slow to reach canada? We're practically a stone throw away.

I wouldn't expect it anytime soon. Google has a very bad track record in Canada. Look at Google Voice and Google Checkout.

Since the new wallet app updated on the 1st (v 1.5) it's possible to add a canadian credit card. Only thing was I had to enter in a US billing address (an incorrect one obviously). I read on another forum that you can then change this to your correct CAN billing address on the google wallet website and it should work but on the site it shows my can address already.
So in summary, I have my CAN cc on the wallet app, but the billing address is incorrect so I'm pretty sure it won't work. If i could change it back i'm certain it would start working legitimately

Galaxy Nexus on Verizon at $299.99 blocking Google wallet?

Galaxy Nexus is likely to come at $299.99 with contract on Verizon Networks in United States, says WSJ. Verizon is charging same contract pricing for other high-end smartphones like Motorola Droid RAZR, HTC Rezound and 32GB iPhone. Verizon thinks that users will pay the premium for its excellent network and LTE connectivity.
Another report by 9to5Google said that Galaxy Nexus will be headed on Verizon Wireless next week without Google Wallet feature. Although it has NFC chip, the app will not be available in Android Market for Verizon users. The reason to block Google Wallet is their recent creation of a new mobile payment project called ISIS. ISIS is a Wallet like feature created by Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile along with others to roll out in 2012...............
http://mirolta.com/2011/12/06/veriz...-299-99-with-contract-blocking-google-wallet/
Just created an account so that I could comment on how mad I am about no google wallet. In a time when the national sentiment has been bashing corporations for being profit-centered and not caring about their customers, Verizon decides to do something like this? They really need to fire their public relations department, because somebody f'ed up.
Back to lurking the forum.
Yeah, Sprint and Google jumped into bed behind closed doors and locked everyone else out. Brilliant.
Sad, really as NFC needs to take off, like, quick. Now. But it won't, sadly.
So, there will be millions of GNEXs and even SGSII's with dead NFC potential. Sounds great to me! (and while neat, Android beam doesn't count. this is about mobile payments which is crippled beyond belief do to...drum roll...money!).
Absolute boneheads making these deals (looking at you google)

What you're saying is inaccurate. Sprint and Google didn't block anyone. Tmobile, AT&T, and Verizon are all involved in Isis and apparently don't want Google Wallet competing with them. Reports are saying that all 3 of those companies intend to block Google Wallet. They want to push Isis and don't want the competition posing any type of threat to their investment. The nfc potential will not be dead, as these companies are planning to move forward with it, they just don't like competition. I do question the legality of such a move though, as it is clearly anti-competitive.
I've never seen any of these apps but I understand their value and why these companies are fighting over it.
Google bro isn't my priority here. What's important to me is the app works seamlessly, is safe, is most accepted when I'm out shopping, and doesn't add exorbitant fees. It's very early and consumers don't have much of a say in the matter.
One thing to watch out for is data tracking and selling info to 3rd parties. This would be ripe for this app.
So much for pure Google.

good ol' verizon. I have T-Mobile also(just I prefer the unlimited data I have on verizon)...
word on the street is that this friday's the day. although I have a Rezound atm and considering exchanging it for a GN... I do like the Rezound more(hardware-wise), just with my big hands id prefer to have a phone with the biggest screen possible. that and I got it from Best Buy Mobile so will have to wait until they get it in... hopefully I can get them to price match the $219 I paid for this one.
Really sad. All the more evidence this is Verizon's show, and not Google's.
I totally agree....
I am/was exteremely excited to finally get a plain vanilla android device on VZW, as i'm grandfathered in to the unlimited data and have no plans of changing providers.
When i was in Japan and on DoCoMo i had an essentially plain vanilla device, and it was great. The news that 1) VZW is putting their apps on the phone, and 2) NFC not being able to be utilized for google wallet (at least out of the box), is a HUGE disappointment.
NFC/Google Wallet was one of the biggest things i was excited about for this phone, and i'm VERY sad that i'll have to possibly root it just to run google wallet, or wait for VZW/Google to sort something out.
This seems like a clear violation of the Block C auction rules.... not a good move by verizon
It also seems like a violation of anti-trust laws
legality and disappointment aside, there's a pretty good chance we will be able to add Google wallet if we root right?

Yea. If NFC works then we can get it to read Google Wallet. Verizon probably just blocks it from the app market.
This news sucks but in reality, I don't even know anyone in the US that accepts Google Wallet... so I wasn't really leaning toward using it anyway.
Plus I'd rather have support for what works around me. If Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, all use a special kind, then that's what I want.
Obviously they are just trying to monitize on the tech by charging per use... or play big brother like with Carrier IQ crap. I can't trust them to handle my SMS anymore, let alone my transactions.
Well we'll see. I'd prefer Google take the lead on this but who knows if Google is any better at handling my expenses either...

The most shocking thing isn't that VZW commanded it, but that Google accepted it. The whole purpose of a "Google" phone was purity and historically they never bowed to carriers demands. Other than radio differences, the phones were the same regardless of carrier. Google has in effect sold themselves out to move devices in larger quantities. Sad.
This makes me so mad at Verizon. I've been waiting a long time for this phone and I was excited about NFC & Google Wallet. I will be rooting so I'm sure that I will have Google Wallet running in no time, but this sullies the "pure Google" Nexus brand

That's true enough, the only place I can think of that currently accept Google Wallet are McDonald's, Macy's, and Peet's Coffee. But the reason this should make you angry is that by limiting access to Google Wallet, Verizon is putting a stranglehold on the growth of the service. This makes it more likely that their "Isis" service, that isn't even available yet, could win out as a mobile payment solution. There have got to be some anti-trust ramifications here. I for one will now refuse to ever use Isis out of principle.

We dont know the details, but I'm willing to bet Google didn't just roll over on this one. Verizon isn't just another carrier, they are the largest carrier with the most clout. I have to disagree with your premise that this constitutes Google's "selling out" of the Nexus brand. Imagine the uphill battle that Google must have faced in getting Verizon to even consider allowing a Nexus device to exist on their network.

It's not places that accept Google Wallet that you'd be looking for, it's places that accept Paypass (from Mastercard). Places that I frequent that accept paypass are Best Buy, Dairy Queen, Riteaid, CVS, McDonalds, and others. There's a Kroger near me that accepts it too. My doctor's office also has paypass, and many gas stations. It isn't available everywhere but it's in enough places that it is useful, as I use it frequently.
Just felt like I should explain my own experiences here. I have a GSM Galaxy Nexus on AT&T and cannot download Google Wallet, either. It seems like the entire device doesn't currently support Google Wallet. So it's not that Verizon is blocking it, it's that they're not adding support for it.
I am sorry but to me the galaxy nexus isn't a real nexus. At least the verizon edition isn't. I believed the nexus was something that stood apart from other phones in that it came to the customer exactly as google intended. Now verizon dictates what apps are available on it? on a nexus?! Instead of me labeling it more drastically as the "nexus line is dead", I'd rather say that the verizon nexus isn't a real nexus.

Ah, I see. So it's not confirmed that they are blocking just that they haven't added support yet. Well I guess we will see. But i will say this.... How is google's flagship phone not going to have something like google wallet working out of the box? Something to think about.

Google Wallet and SSN

I was adding 200+ to my Google wallet at the same time and on the second reload it asked me for my SSN. Anyone else get this before?

I haven't add that amount of money to my account but no.
The only time I was asked for my SSN was when I called money network to transfer balance from my previous phone to a new one, and it was only to prove my identity.
One question; what do you need $200 in your google wallet account? Doesn't it have a really low limit transaction limit? I know blinks has a $20 transaction limit.
I don't know the answer to your question. But how did you get the wallet working on the Galaxy Nexus? Is your phone a GSM version?
I'd be careful adding that amount. Supposedly the gift cards have been notorious for disappearing.
I've had a $10 free gift card from Google... and then it was gone. Weird thing was it allowed me to sign up again. I've heard several people who flashed another rom were able to get another $10.
Be careful.

Check the terms and conditions for Google Wallet/Money Network. It states they do additional verification (SSN, etc) after the 3rd or 4th reload or $200 dollars total (something along these lines).

The Google Wallet accounts are tied to the device themselves which is why when installed on a new device, people's balances from their previous Google Wallet account does not show up. A simple call to Money Network clears all that up very easily, and you still get to keep the free $10 on the new device in addition to the previous balance. Money Network is a very reputable company as they do provide payroll solutions for many companies. His money isn't going anywhere.

ISIS vs Google Wallet

For the last 2 days I've been stumbling across this "ISIS Mobile payment" platform. It looks to be getting a lot of attention and is supported by AT&T, T Mobile, and Verizon. According to a few sources it will be available for a few devices (including ours) next month.
http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/28/isis-mobile-payment-system-primed-for-september-launch-supporte/

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-...ystem-to-debut-in-september-after-delays.html
http://androidcommunity.com/isis-mobile-payments-coming-in-september-20120828/
So my question is, why is ISIS getting the attention and props from the carriers over Google Wallet? Is it more secure? Is it financially supported by the carriers?
I'm confused...
the carriers want the money that such a service brings and are trying to screw Google

ISIS is a way for operators to get money out of NFC, that's why the operators are blocking Google Wallet from working. This is the same as Tethering.
The only thing starting next month is a test trial in Salt Lake City and Austin. Which, I believe, has been delayed from a previously announced July launch. I'm guessing a wider rollout will be sometime next year.

Interesting... Makes perfect sense.
I've been reading and saw few YouTube clips... And Iris system looks 10 times more difficult to purchase. (compared to google) the security is ten times greater due to constant changing of the back of plastic 3 digit security code. (whew!)
Google wallet is obviously less with security.
Since Iris is backed by the 3 major 4G and lte service. Many vendors and merchants will adapt this feature very soon. This payment system was long existed in South Korea (visited galaxy s2 days) and citizens use it like it's their wallet.
Not sure Americans would be able to adapt and execute the isis business model and availability of credit cards.

Just after I left Verizon, they were fined by the FCC for blocking tethering apps. It was part of their agreement when acquiring LTE spectrum that the customer would be free to use whatever software they wanted on their devices. I wonder if they are also blocking Google Wallet since this would also be in breach of their agreement.
As for ATT and T-Mobile, it would be nice to have support without resorting to workarounds.

Plenty of people have Google Wallet up and running on other carriers besides Sprint. Obviously it is a work around, but anyone that truly wants to use Google Wallet doesn't have to look very far or put much effort in getting it to work for their device regardless of carrier.

I live in Salt Lake, one of the test cities. I got the isis sim card from tmobile but isis wouldn't install on my s3. I retored my stock rom and it installed just fine. Then I installed my stock rom after rooting and got the following (see image below) when i installed and tried to run isis.
Bottom line, u root, no isis.
So far the only isis specific terminal I've seen here in salt lake is the light rail system. I tried google wallet on it and it said I paid but the transaction never went through. I'm hoping the pay termials will take either. I applaud that isis may make nfc more visible and acceptable to the general public but restrictions make it doa.
All that said, im back to liquid smooth....

Google Wallet on NFC Tag

I have been wondering since Google Wallet uses NFC can i program an NFC tag to act in place of my phone to make NFC purchases? i have used Google Wallet on my nexus 7, so i know that you do not need a data connection, beyond that i am not too knowledgeable on how Google Wallet works. Can this be done? i am sick of waiting for ISIS mobile wallet, i have had the s3 for almost a year and its still only available in 2 cities, way to get screwed out of the main feature i wanted from my phone

Yep.
Wasn't there a plan by Google to create a physical card for your Wallet account with PayPass? It's probably still in the works, we'll see if it's coming soon!
As we've seen at I/O, they're very invested in Wallet (sending money through Gmail, faster mobile checkout, etc.)
yea, it is such a shame that the only carrier in my area that allows google wallet is sprint and they have terrible coverage here.

Unless something's changed, not out of the box. It's carrier blocked. When I had a Note 2 you had to do a bunch of s/w modifications to the Wallet app and change your build.prop to make it work. The Note 3 had a NFC chip with a secure token that didn't work with Wallet at all. Check the SGS5 forum as their experiences will probably be the same as ours assuming the NFC chip is the same. I've moved to Softcard and have been getting $50 a month back from Amex Serve since July, the offer's good until the end of the year.
Google Wallet's pretty much dead because the financial players won't share marketing data with them. A long discussion here...

I don't think they're blocking it anymore from AT&T. I can confirm my Note 3 absolutely did not work because of whatever secure element issue it had. But my AT&T branded LG G3 allows me to download and use Google Wallet. Although as much as I don't really care for the service, Softcard (ISIS) is giving away the farm on deals to get people to use their payment system.

You get $1.00 off per transaction. Thee $2.00 items rung up separately end up being $3.00. Three $2.00 items rung together ends up being $5.00. $50.00 a month is almost two transactions a day which is a lot. Seperating stuff means I don't leave anything on the table.

I only do it "off peak." They actually think it's pretty cool and quite a few with NFC-equipped phone's got Serve cards to get in on the deal.
I work in a store with tap n pay. I use it now with wallet because software won't install on my rooted phone. Once my note 4 comes in, I might have to do this.
I am coming from the S5 and can confirm that Google Wallet works just fine since they have "changed" the way it works. Given that, I would almost guarantee that it will work with the Note 4 as well.

I have it working on my S5 as well, but I am rooted (ISIS doesn't work now, obviously, but who cares? lol). So I hope everyone is correct that the changes to wallet will allow it to work on a stock Note 4.

Actually, if you install root cloak you can still use ISIS (now SoftCard). Especially since they are giving a $1 back until the end of the year!

Got my AT&T note 4 today.. used wallet already. Works fine.
I have AT&T note 4 and wallet is working fine it seems. It installed and set up no problem. I haven't actually used it to pay for anything but from what I can tell I'd say it works.

On my Note3, the wallet also works fine, however tap-to-pay is no where to be found. The app starts normal, i'm able to view my latest transactions, i'm able to pull up my balance, but tap-to-pay feature is no where.
Is this the same for the Note 4?

I was on DN3 on the Note 2 and tap n pay worked. Didn't have a note 3. On the Note 4 however I can say that on stock, wallet works. It's funny, isis/softcard is built in and pre loaded, so have to get wallet from the play store. But there is a slip of paper in the box advertising wallet. So they are both accessible and fully working on the N4.
After installing wallet you have to go into the NFC settings and change your authorized tap to pay app to wallet.

This is in INCREDIBLE! When I was with t-mobile (last year) I returned my Note3 to purchase a Nexus5, only because of Google Wallet tap-to-pay feature. I know, it sounds stupid, and hard headed. Now, since i'm with at&t, and got over my stupidity, I sold my nexus5 on swappa, purchased a Note3 on their Next plan (12 months), to enjoy my Note3 again.
Now, with the good news of Google Wallet tap-to-pay feature being available on the Note4, this is totally AWESOME!
