Hey guys. I bought the unlocked Galaxy Nexus from the Google Play store. When I open Google Wallet, it says that I can't use it in my country or on my carrier. However, I live in the US (FL) and have no SIM card in my phone. What should I do? Is this normal?

Put a sim card in and try again

My SIM card arrives tomorrow. This only works if you have a SIM card in the phone?

No. I'm just going out on a limb here and assume the sim will tell your phone where you are and let you access Google wallet.

I was wondering if anyone could explain this. I imported a galaxy nexus gsm. I took my tmobile sim card from my nexus one and it works fine. But I'm not able to get HSPA+ (4g)? The person I share my minutes with has a samsung side kick and can get 4g. Is it my sim card? or is it tmobile just doesn't know what my device is and I need to spend 2 hours on the phone with support?
New sim card should fix it

He's talking about SIM.
Sprint (CDMA): Only for Sprint [other networks cant use this phone.. incompatability]
Verizon (CDMA): Same
GSM Galaxy Nexus: Unlocked
DoCoMo GSM Galaxy Nexus: Locked... use search feature for unlocking tool.
You can buy an already unlocked one from Google for $400
Well I'm guessing I need to get the unlocked one its not a bad price for being unlocked I probably will unlock my glide and sell it but is this phone a good phone

All of them are unlocked really.
Sprint / Verizon: only works on their respective networks because they're the ONLY carriers who use that technology.
GSM is a better variant overall. Updates from Google (Yakju/Takju), better battery life. $399 on Play Store.. yes its good, its a nexus device
Another Nexus Question
Does anyone know if the next Galaxy Nexus for Verizon will come with a microSD slot?

No.... don't make this thread into a Nexus 3 speculation thread.
And there is no such thing as the next "Galaxy Nexus" it'll most likely be under a new name unless its called GN2 which I'll be surprised if that was the name.
Thanks for the help I'm probably going to get it when I have the money

If you buy a GN (galaxy nexus) from ebay and the carrier is vzw and doesn't come with a sim will it still work or do you have to root it?
Go to Verizon and they will give you a new sim for free . No sim=no work..I buy used phones a lot and do this every time with Verizon now the sim stays with the phone number

if you already have an active verizon account they shouldnt charge for a new sim, just go to a verizon store and request a replacement SIM
yeah i have never been charged for a sim card they are free, if you call 611 the say to go to the nearest vz store or they can send you one.. just tell them that you bought the phone from a private sale and you need a sim. they will do the rest
I'm Planning to buy a Galaxy nexus because the Nexus 4 doesn't seem to be coming back into stock soon
anyways, i'm asking a question if Google Wallet works Straight out of the Box
With AT&T
I do not know about at&t but I cannot get it to work on mine with T-Mobile. From what I have read it has something to do with these isis micro Sims(in test markets?)? When I launch the wallet app it says it can take up to 5 minutes to setup. After 5 minutes it says my device is not ready yet... I plan to go down to T-Mobile later this week to see if I can get a non-isis Sim card instead. Not sure if at&t has these issues. Just a FYI.

Unlock?
The galaxy nexus was never locked to at&t. You don't need to do anything but stick a new sim card in it

This
the GSM galaxy nexus was SIM unlocked from the get go. the only carrier locked G-nexus' are the verizon and sprint ones.
stick a new SIM in and you are good to go.
you might have seen bootloader Unlocking....allowing you to flash a custom Recover and install Custom RoM's. and since this is a nexus, its SUPER easy.
