Thanks for the reply I've had it working on my Galaxy Nexus a couple of years ago and haven't tried since. It worked then. I'm gonna keep trying anyway. I managed to get in to the point where I can create a pin and add a card so I'll see if the prepaid Vanilla Visa and Shopper's still work. I refuse to sign up for Rogers' Suretap scam.

Im using the suretap wallet and it works well, exactly what google wallet does without haking or anything.... I use it all the time you should a least give it a try so see how well it works...

I looked into that scam already. 2$ everytime you want to reload. 2.50$ /month service fee and they charge you 10$ if you want to cancel. TD Bank is coming out with something soon so hopefully it's better. Thanks for the help tho.

I think those fees are normal, just like a real prepaid credit cards that you can buy at any stores...

Maybe they are Ive never used prepaid cards before, but paying with my phone isn't worth paying the fees. I can just as easily tap my debit card instead.

So I went to try out NFC today... ($10 on sprint gnex)

Okay long story short, I had a terrible allergy attack and saw my doctor today. He prescribed 2 different medicines so i went to walgreens where they have the NFC terminals. The pharmacist told me they had 1 in stock and the other was at another walgreens nearby and I had to pick it up there. Each costed $10
Went to pay for the first one and... roaming!(without data) so I paid with cash and went to the other store to try it out with the other medicine... and no signal inside but full 3g outside!. So I paid with cash again and left.
So I am still stuck with those $10 on my gnex ugh!
talk about a crappy day at least my allergy symptoms have slowed :fingers-crossed:
You know Google Wallet doesn't need a data connection to pay?
It won't give a proper statement in your "Transactions" page, but it still works.
Also get better man.
I don't think Walgreen's has activated the NFC on their terminals yet.
I could be wrong.

damnit! learn something new every day I guess.
To the guy not getting his $10, is your phone new (from the store) or used? When I got my refurb Nexus it didnt show the $10 but when it gave me problems I had it swapped for a BNIB and the $10 were there. The money is not per google account, its per participating device.

Google Play carrier billing

I don't even have the option to use carrier billing. It asks for a credit card but that's all. I checked online and my phone isn't listed in my account. And there is no way to add a phone. It's odd because about a week ago, my phone and one credit card was listed and now they are gone and it doesn't even give the carrier billing option when purchasing apps. Any recommendations?
I don't have it either. I'm on the latest AOKP, FYI.

At least I am not alone. Lol. Maybe when and if we ever get the JB update, that will take care of it.
Check with customer support
Visit AT&T booth for quick customer assistance.
You should run stock TW ROM when you do that.
lol Im stock not even rooted and I dont have that option either.. before on my one x it was there. maybe it will pop up at a random time. lol
I'm completely stock as well. I didn't have this issue with the one x either. Im gonna run by the att store on my way home and see what they say.
Up until a week or two ago I didn't have the option either, but then randomly it became an option... didn't do anything. Kinda weird, perhaps att just started recognizing the i747 as a compatible device or something

Anyone Yet?
I just switched from Sprint to ATT and was able to bill to carrier with no problem on sprint...Now that I have att I don't even have that option which sux...Just wondering if anyone figured out if it was even an option or they have it on theirs??
When I was on at&t, after a few days, it started working by itself. Now that I am on Verizon, it simply doesn't work at all after two weeks. I don't even have the option. And Google hasn't responded to my emails.

Yooo this is the weirdest thing ever. I got this email saying there was a reply, so I checked it and it was your reply. So after I was done I went into the play store randomly like I have Been and what do u know? Not only was the option there but it was working. I made a purchase. I don't know why or how but it was there. I did nothing new or different. Strange but I'm happy!!!!

I noticed they say you can't be on wireless to pay with carrier.
"You must be using your carrier’s network (3G/4G), not wireless."
Tried this, still no option. Tried deleting cache, no good. Deleting data & cache, no good. Tried uninstalling play store updates & it automatically reinstalled updates to version 3.8.17, still no option to pay by carrier.
I'm at a loss as to what to do next.

I wonder if that would work for Verizon or if I need to call Verizon and have them provision something. I have been with at for the past 10 years and just switched to Verizon a couple weeks ago so I don't know how Verizon handles this kind of thing.

I have the option for carrier billing. I have it checked but it still bills my cc. oh well, usually apps are less than 5 bucks.... If I can't pay that with my cc/debit then I don't need to be buying apps anyway. Kinda makes me think about buying a 25 cent lollipop with a credit card.
My situation with carrier billing is a bit different. I wanted to take advantage of the 25 cent app sale, so I selected the carrier billing option. The Play store tried to process the purchase, but returned a communication error message. This happened several times over the course of 3-4 days. I felt extremely silly charging 25 cents to my credit card, but at least I was able to do that.

PSA: Spend your Google Prepaid Card before it's gone.

https://www.google.com/wallet/prepaid-refund/
Spend that $10 you got from Google Wallet now before it goes away on October 17. Apparently you can ask for a refund after that date, but you're charged $2 every 30 days you don't buy anything.

Is there anyway to use this to purchase something from Google Play? I've tried adding it in as a prepaid card with the number, but no go. It would be nice to use this to buy a few apps or something.
How do I get my $10? Do I need to add one of my cards first?
Edit- never mind
Anyway to spend it on something fun? The only place I've used it is at 7-11 so I guess I could use the remaining balance on it for a few drops of gas
what? they recently introduced this prepaid feature and already axing it? why not keep it there as an option for those that don't have credit/debit cards..
this is typical of how google works.. if they don't make millions on something, kill it.

They are getting rid of it because you can use your own credit/debit card now with Google Wallet, so no need for them to keep the prepaid option.
I think the point was to have an option where people can just pay onto the 'cash account' at a retail POS like 7-Eleven as some people don't have a CC or debt card.

It wouldn't make any sense, the point of the per paid cards was a bit of an incentive to the quote unquote beta testers. And now that we can use any credit card, there's no point to it.

Well if you don't have a credit/debit card, can't you just get a prepaid one from a store (walmart) and add it to the wallet?

I really don't see the harm in leaving it up. If my aunt wanted to send me money, I had a prepaid card to charge her credit card to...then she won't ask why there's $5.09 used every few days (cigarettes) ha. But I guess I'll just get a real prepaid card and put it in my phone. But that kills the purpose of me using Google wallet. Not every place has a nfc reader thingie

You just go onto Google Wallet and activate a Google Prepaid Card iirc. The $10 can only be used in real life, so no play store credit.

Google Wallet Prepaid Card

So, as you all probably know by now, the Google Wallet Prepaid Cards will expire come October. I need to know what to spend 10 bucks on lol. Not too many places arround me have NFC terminals except like Circle K or something. So anything useful from the market or accessories online?

I know that, there just isn't ,much around here lol.
McD and CVS is where i spent. Man that was awesome. By the way be sure to remove the prepaid card after you spend it cause i read somewhere that Google will charge $2 monthly for using the money network prepaid card going forward.

Discontinued, call Money Networks to get your $10-$5(processing fee) cheque.
If its the 10.00 you got when you bought the phone you must call money network to get it. Google is not doing that anymore ( free debit cards) they will issue you a check in 30 to 45 days for what you had on the card

I looked back at the email they sent after reading the responses . They do mention that resetting your Wallet would remove the prepaid card. Guess I'll have to call to get it.
