Not as Simply as you Would Think

The card does not have just a static chip, so when it is touched information is passed through, encrypted, and sent to the bank to be decrypted and authenticated which creates the transaction. This means it is not as simple as copying the data on the card, however you can use Google Wallet. This advice will be short lived if you device does not support host card emulation and is not KitKat

[Q] NFC Question For Making NonNFC Phone NFC

So I have a phone. It does not have an NFC reader. However I found out they now have NFC Sim cards. It's a dule sim phone.
I only use 1 Sim. Can I buy a cheap NFC Sim, and use that without activating the sim? I already have a plan with my other sim. Is that doable?
Thanks.

Hi,

Any one can help my?
Thanks a lot.

has to be a credit card. if its a bank card(debit) with visa features, it wont work

samsung pay says it supports debit cards though. Are you just saying if its a combo card (debit and mc) it wont work?

i have 2 cards. one debit with visa and it dosent work.
from the same bank i have a fully fledged visa credit card and it works.
both have nfc chips. about 2 year old cards.
when adding the debit it actually tells you why it cant add it i think....
edit
by the way samsung pay on the phone VS on the watch are 2 separate things.

Phone= Credit and Debit
Watch = Credit only
Sent from my SM-G975W using XDA Labs

as far as I know BMO is not on the list of supported card issuers. I have one debit and one mastercard and they both are not supported by samsung pay

i doubt it very much the hardware is there. As some user have flashed WETA rom, the phone dialer shows up on the SM-T830 WiFi model! You could try flashing WETA and then try a sim card!

I'm realy not sure if all necessesary hardware are there but at least the sim reader and the sim space in the tray yes. I will try later with weta rom. Thx

I think the WiFi Model has the space for the bigger tray that includes the Sim. They don't want to redesign the tablet because of the little space they could be used. Maybe is the Sim reader is there too.
But I don't think that the WiFi model is capable of LTE or 3G. Samsung probably left out the modem and the antennas to safe some money. The WiFi Model is 70€ cheaper than LTE version.

I'm just necroposting because this is a very common theme, and it needs to be put to rest once and for all!
Not really. But there is a 'black box' section of the firmware and hardware that only Qualcomm has access to, the technicalities of which are under government regulation, both USA and Internationally. That is why the major portions of all Qualcomm equipped devices are actually written by Qualcomm itself, and other processor (SoC) manufacturers likewise.
If such information was disseminated to mobile device manufacturers, it would leak, and that would compromised the entire cellular system. The wifi only is nearly identical to the 4G LTE, but you will never get firmware loaded that will open up the cellular modem.
And if you actually accomplished such a task, it wouldn't be long before federal authorities were interrogating you on how you did it, and debriefing you to never mention a word of it ever again, nor using the knowledge in any way, under penalty of being legally banned from all cellular networks, permanently!
If you dig hard on the Qualcomm site, and pass a few security checks, like demonstrating you're an actual mobile device developer, you will run into these stone walls where no one is allowed to pass.
