here in Cyprus where I live, 97% of shops supports NFC payments, but rather than carrying my visa card, I prefer using my phone
I tried setting up google pay from apk mirror and installed it, the app said that my card is not supported (there is not a single bank that supports google pay here)
I created a (.boon contactless payment) which its a virtual card that supports google pay and I was able to set it up but google pay started uninstalling itself from my phone for no reason (even after I was able to add a card on it)
then I realized that I changed device and now I have the s9 (it is not rooted or anything else just yet)
so I went ahead to download Samsung pay! ...... I wasn't able to download it neither from google store or from Samsung store
so I went to download it from apk mirror again and the results are almost the same it doesn't allow itself to connect to the internet expect to show me the promotions and notices
I wasn't able even to connect my PayPal account
is there any alternate app that gonna give me the ability to pay in stores with my phone?
and sorry for my bad English, Thanks!
Barclaycard have their own payment system which uses the NFC it's separate to Google and aamaung

Hey folks,
I 've been using an unlocked at&t samsung focus in Brazil for quite some time and as any user from unsupported country i've been limited to free apps in marketplace. I dont know if marketplace changed policy or not but today i bought a gold subscription for my xbox live account (which is the same as the one i use in wp7 - US Live Account) and magically everything is working now. I bought monopoly ($4,99) and sound recorder ($0,99) from wp7 marketplace without a problem.
When you buy a gold subscription in xbox they just validate your credit card information without verifying the address so i used my credit card and an US address. Now wp7 seems to be using the same credit card info from xbox live for purchases.
Can anyone confirm this works or mktplace really changed policy and has nothing to do with xbox live?!
This sounds really interesting, please someone to test and report if this works. Regards
Are your Live account registered as an U.S. account too? Otherwise I don't think that you shouldn't have been able to even download free Apps. To register an account in another country is the "official" workaround, the problem is to get a creditcard validated since they seem to check which country it's registered in nowadays.
Nop.
Tried to register my credit card using the same profile that I've used with my PSN account (wich works perfectly). But here, when I try to register my credit card, it gives me error.
It's annoying; I need to buy some apps. That is annoying and non sense.
nop. thats the point i didn't registered any credit card on my live account. I can't... like any other person living in unsupported country. What i did was making my xbox account gold (which happens to be the same US live ID i use for wp7) and voilà! xbox website doesn't check your location, you can use your normal credit card and input any US address to become gold.
After this step they don't ask for a credit card in my live account anymore, it uses the one i have in my xbox account. Since then I'm able to buy apps.
in resume:
1. Get your US live account and register/convert it on xbox live at www.xbox.com. (The liveid must be the same primary account you use on wp7)
2. Go gold using the US page ($9.99/mo if i recall). (Will ask you for a credit card)
3. Try to buy something in wp7 marketplace.
That's what i did and surprisingly worked for me.
also make sure you are in /en-us at xbox.com. Check the address bar. Force en-US if it redirects to your country.

Yes, I tried myself some minutes ago and this is BS, doesn't work.
damn...maybe i was lucky. My xbox subscription expired but i still have my credit card on their site and i have full access to marketplace. Bought 7 apps so far.
Lucky. Here didn't work.
Has anyone managed to top up Google Wallet in the UK or anywhere outside of the USA? I've used my free $10 and it worked like a charm in McDonalds and it would be great if we could figure out a way to get it topped up without having to have a friend in the USA etc...
There's a method listed here:

Thanks for the reply however I cannot see any info in that forum with regards to topping up outside of the USA. Could you point me in the direction of which page it is?
Thanks again.
From that link...
"Topping Up
So you've installed the APK and spent your initial $10 at Greggs or maybe Mcdonalds. Healthy. Now you need to top up... there's a problem!
Google Wallet only allows you to load the prepaid card using a US card, which most of us accessing Wallet this way don't have! The card that you use needs to support AVS (address verification) with a US address, something that also excludes a number of US cards. I'm hoping that we as a community can collaborate to work out the best way to do this, but i've tried a few methods and i've chronicled them below. I'll update this post as more methods / information surfaces. I'm hoping we can find a low cost disposable Visa solution or similar that makes the process easy. Getting a US address is easy enough to associate with a card, just sign up (free) for US Unlocked.
BFPS- Virtual credit card in various denominations, configurable AVS address, use coupon 'modaco' for 5% discount - WORKING
EntroPay - Virtual credit card, turns out to be Malta registered and doesn't support AVS - FAILED
US Unlocked card - Virtual credit card, currently untested - UNKNOWN"
I found that extremely expensive. A virtual-card of US$50 for US$69 ? they are charging like 20% for the service alone.
This is so far what I've done.
-Went to Borderlinx to get an U.S. based address (borderlinx.com)
-I received an email with such address
-Went to EntroPay (entropay.com) to get a Virtual debit card using my UK details.
-Then after the card was set up and topped, I went to Google Wallet directly (wallet.google.com) and added the card using the Borderlinx address details.
-I tested the card in play.google.com, buying a game (where's my perry) and even though my account is UK based, I decided to make the EntroPay card my default and it charged me in US$ ($0.99 instead of £0.69). Checked in Wallet and the transaction was successful.
Next thing to do:
-Try to pay using Google Wallet in my Galaxy S3 in any Paypass vendor (Greggs, McDonalds, you name it). Since the card was accepted in Google Play, I guess it will be OK when I try to pay using the card in Greggs.
Keep in mind I'm using the latest version, the one that allows to use any card and pulls the cards you have used in Google Play.
Fingers crossed!
Seeing as they now accept Visa Debit and Mastercard it should be easier now
So I set up Google pay on my Chinese AL00 (I'm in the UK) and I was able to add my credit card to it, but, not my bank card. I tested at Starbucks on my commute today and it worked fine. Now I just need to finalize a way of getting my bank card on there as well.
I thought I would create this thread as I've seen a lot of people saying it won't work.
One strange thing, every time I pay for something it says mobile data for Google pay is disabled enable? And I click enable... Still it's working
Please share how did you add your card. Mine always ask me to contact bank no matter how many different card I tried
hello
i have the galaxy s9 sm-g960f my problem is that neither of Google or Samsung pay is available here is there any way to make them work?
without root?
i downloaded them through apkmirror
(google pay is not gonna work due to the lack of bank support but about Samsung pay, there is paypal as an option)
Sorry, nope. I have had a problem with my German phone with 2 German SIM cards and Google Pay. It was available in another country, where I too have bank accounts, but not in Germany. I've exchanged a million e-mails with Google Support and no solution worked. Once Google Pay was introduced in Germany, I could add my foreign card and no problem further on. Therefore it will be the same for Samsung Pay - can't use it either way.

Google online chat is for trash since I was trying to talk to them without any luck they weren't able to help me, my first problem was that Google play was deleting itself for no reason ...Google answered to that and they said that I am on the unsupported country this is why! ...then I found that I was using an old version because apk mirror did not say that there were newer versions available after that I used Boon contactless app and set up a card...since here in Cyprus there is no 3D secure card I found that the card app maybe is an option I will have to wait until 1st of January since I exited my card limit then I am gonna update to you if I was able to make it fully work!!
And sorry for my bad English
Hi all,
I post here as I have a Pixel 6Pro, but it is a general question.
I live in a country where Google Play/Wallet is not officially available.
This means that I cannot use my phone to do payments through NFC.
I have a local bank account and a Revolut account (with a Lituanian IBAN, which in theory should work with Google Play/Wallet).
Could someone explain me if the problem of not having Google Play/Wallet working in my country is related to Google or if it due to my bank? I complained for years with my bank, but nothing is happening (and it seems that no other local bank can make it working).
Does someone know any possible work around to finally use NFC payments on my phone?
Thanks!
I don't have the out-of-country issue, but, my bank doesn't work with Google Wallet, only Samsung Pay & Apple Play.
I'd start out with calling your bank & ask if any of the three (Google Wallet/Samsung Pay/Apple Pay) are used.
Find supported payment methods - United States - Google Wallet Help
Important: To make contactless purchases with Google Wallet, you must have an Android phone with Near Field Communication (NFC). You can use your phone to pay wherever contactless payments are accept

If your country is supposed to be supported for Google Wallet (per the links listed above), & you've already reached out to your bank, I'd take it up with Google, see if they can help.
Thank you Koliosis, but my bank keeps repeating they are working on it.
Would changing the payment profile make any difference?
Indeed if I go to https://pay.google.com/gp/w/home/paymentmethods I have three profiles, the one of my residence country and two others from other countries where, in the past years, I bought Google devices (Pixel and Android TV or Chromecast). Does anybody know what switching profile would entail?
Thanks!
