and this means canadians are left high and dry. once again. sigh
This was our only option of even using the wallet. the new app that allows all cards requires a USA address on the card added to function.
Oh well. was a fun toy while it lasted.

I didn't quite get the announcement. If they are discontinuing the card, why are they going to be changing the $2 non-usage fee to 30 days?

From the email
October 17, 2012: Your Google Prepaid Card will disappear from the Google Wallet app and you won’t be able to spend your balance any longer. Don’t worry, you will be able to request a refund if you have remaining funds by visiting www.google.com/wallet/prepaid-refund.

Refunded to my BuyFromPowerSeller card with a fake AVS? Probably better that I spend it in Wallet.

Good thing i never used it! But i may put my debit card on soon.

I should request my $0.56 back.

Odds are your problem is caused by you downloading those apps, since that's the number one way people get trojans on their phones.
Look, you paid at least $250 for your phone, and at least $70/month for service. I think you can afford a $0.99 app.

It was stated a few posts up that the person doesn't have a credit card. I agree that it would be nice for Google to enable buying apps by having them charged to your phone bill. Not everyone has access to a credit/debit card.
Just a note: you can use visa gift cards on the market with Google Checkout - I have. You have to register the card with the website so the name & address will be registered to the card, just like a debit card. The website is in the info that comes with the card. If you really wanted to buy an app, you could.
Every paid app should have a license check, in my opinion.
Open a free checking account and get a debit card? Pay for your apps please, it keeps android moving forward. I used to do the same thing as the OP, until I felt convicted by God not to so I deleted everything I had acquired and bought it all.
my dad paid for the phone and the bill
its not that i cant afford the 99 cent app

As others mentioned, go to walmart and buy a prepaid credit card. Load it with like $25, and attach it to your google account. You can use it to buy apps. Alot of apps are going to be installable as they start using googles market verification to make sure you purchased it.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
no, apps won't void your warranty, there is no way for sprint to check quickly and they wouldn't take the time to either, if the apps are to blame then sprint well say it was an app after they reset your phone to stock. then start over installing them and do it slowly so you can catch the one that gave you problems.
if your just worried that they are checking over the wireless and not in store then have no fear, they don't check for that

Yes, again, that doesnt matter. Get a prepaid credit card from walmart, or grow some balls and get your own bank account. STOP stealing apps for free, the dev's work very hard on these apps, and deserve to get paid for their work. Your excuse is just that, an excuse, because you are too lazy to tell your dad to screw off and get your own credit card, or pay for your OWN bill for pete's sake...

Harsh but true
+1
I surprised no one has stated the obvious lol. 99% of these apps have a free or 'light' counterpart; most of which usually are fully functional with ads.
Most kids(dkdude36 excluded for obvious reasons lol) don't NEED and ad free app, you saw free and went for it. Is what it is.
I will +1000 on the Google market needed to up their accessibility with pre-paid cards. I gave my 10yr old my Vibrant when I moved over to sprint and I wouldn't give her my account either. She's pretty smart but she would still buy random stuff not realizing it adds up. She is pretty happy about all her free apps though.
If you're under 18, kinda hard to open a bank account. But immensely simple to get a prepaid Visa or American Express gift card, next time you're at the mall or walmart (and if you're under 18, this will certainly be sooner rather than later ), just get one of those and exercise your freedom from your parents

That can't be right. When you reset Google Wallet, the amount disappears unless you sign back up again. The credit is stored in an account.
That said, I don't see a way to get Money Market to cough up your funds other than by using Google Wallet.

I had network issues restoring mine yesterday and it gave me a phone number. I had no reason to save it since it worked fine when I had connection, but if you start to restore the card then turn on airplane mode, it should pop out the same phone number
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
If the money you have left is money that you added to the google prepaid card, then:
Call money market, they will ask you for the prepaid card number, which I don't think you saved. But you can also give them the Order # from when you added funds funds (you can find it in the receipt that they emailed you).
I'm pretty sure they can refund it to you somehow.
Note: To identify yourself,they will ask you from your name to how many times a day you take a crap.
I know all this because this is how I transferred previous balance from a returned phone to the new one.
Good luck.
It makes sense you can't keep it. That 10 wasn't just for free, it was to use Google wallet, since you have a phone that cannot use Google wallet now, the terms of the promotion no longer applies to you and you don't get to keep the money. Seems fairly straight forward. Not trying to be an ass btw

I tried when I log into my Google wallet account on the computer the Google prepaid card is not there.
Well anyway I called Google wallet and they transferred me to money market I had to give them first 4 and last 4 digits of the card I used to load the prepaid than had to go thru identity check they need your full name, address and SSN#. They will send me a check in main with deducted 5$ fee for making the check I guess. The only thing it takes 45 to 65 days for it to come in mail. Now I can rest easy.

Google Wallet: Whats the BIG deal

Just wondering, how many people have/use google wallet. I just don't know what the big fuss is about. I have pay pass on my debit card and i hardly use it.
for those who use google wallet do you gotta have the app running or is it like NFC?

It opens the app for your PIN when you set the phone on the terminal, you enter the PIN and place it back down, and it makes the sale. It initializes with NFC to know to accept the payment.
Slightly off topic, but did anyone receive a $10 credit after activating a Google Prepaid card on Google Wallet?
Imagine a credit/debit/giftcard that doesn't physically exist in your wallet but you can use it at certain stores to pay for things. That is what the big deal is.

Every Google Wallet user gets a $10 credit the first time it gets activated. Sprint users get a special offer of another $40 3 weeks after they activate.

Where do you get T-Mobile's $30 plan from?

I have been shopping around for plans to use on my GNex. I decided to go with T-Mobile's $30 unlimited data plan.
However, on the website, I don't see any link to purchase it. I've looked and looked. This is where I am stuck: http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/prepaid-plans. All I see is "Shop all phones". Do you have to buy a phone before being able to buy the plan? Really confused about this. Thanks.

I believe that you can just order the sim and activate the plan when you get the sim delivered.

DON'T go into a store. Waste of time. Activate online.
The SIM is plan agnostic. You can put any of their prepaid plans on it at any time, and you can change your plan at any time. It doesn't matter at the time of order. You choose when you activate what you want your first month's plan to be.

Just hold onto it and use it later for another line or if you need to switch to another carrier and back.
actually you can also get this in the store -- they don't advertise it, but if you speak to them they might do it for you. i got the manager to do it for me. the benefit is they just give you the sim card for free then charge you $30 (plus tax) for the first month of prepaid credit. it doesn't really save you any money, but at least you don't have to wait for the sim card to arrive in the mail

Its a long shot to get it in store unless you want to buy a cheap burner phone with it. If you're willing to wait for the activation kit, you get some money pre-loaded on the account and you can choose to add your first $30 refill however you want (so you can get refills from somewhere like CallingMart (link in sig) and save some $$).
Activation
Ok, so I just received the sim card activation kit I ordered from t-mobile. I am still waiting on my Nexus to arrive. Can I go ahead and activate the sim card on the $30 plan, using an old t-mobile flip phone I have, and then when I get the nexus, just pop the sim card in it, and that's it? Also, if I want to port my current virgin mobile phone number to it, do I have to do that, during the activation process, or can I activate with the number they give me, then port my number over later? In case of multiple options, I am looking for the most problem free way. I have read about a lot of people having issues getting activated on the $30 plan, and also with porting.

You can activate with the flip phone IMEI and start the service then put in your GNex when it arrives.
You should be able to port when you activate, may have to do it over the phone though. I was able to port after activating, but I was also pulling the # from T-Mobile postpaid. YMMV.

Google financing question

Just have a little confusion looking through the financing fine print.. do I HAVE to make 24 payments? Or can I pay it off early? Just thinking about next year's release and I don't wamt to still be paying off a phone when I'm ready for a new one
financing is for 24 months if you plan to change phone next year you will have to make remaining payment on the phone.
Yeah I get that I have to make the remaining payments... Perhaps I should've asked if I will have to pay the interest rate if I pay it off early... Because it doesn't mention that at all... It just says I need to make 24 monthly payments

If you can pay it off in 6 or 12 months [fine print] you don't pay any interest. Call customer service for Synchrony Financial if you have to.

I had this exact same question, and called Google's finance partner. They said you can pay it off early, but have to do it either with a debit card or using a check online. There is no interest if you choose to make all 24 payments.

Maybe I didn't her approved for full amount. Don't have much credit. But nothing bad. I was clicking on things so fast. Lol. Will have to can on this one. Didn't give an option to pay remaining balance if that's the case.

I only got approved for 900 so I had to get the 32 Gb XL
You should be able to pay this off early with no penalty. You can either make more than the minimum payment each month or just pay off the remaining balance next year when the new phone comes out. You only get charged interest if you don't pay it off in full within 24 months. After 24 months, you get charged interest beginning from the day the transaction posted. So basically pay it off before you hit month 25 and you'll be fine.

Can u add Google play store gift cards on top of the financing option? I've got $300 in gift cards from my bir5hday

no - google play gift cards do not work for hardware.
I got approved for 1000. Allowing the same payments that you would make through a carrier for a flagship I think was a smart move. I know people are outraged by the price, but this isn't the Nexus line we have come to understand. Google is trying to make a flagship to compete with the likes of Sammy and apple. I hope they get apple to at least pay attention a little. If Google plays their cards right over the next few years they could hurt apples profits. And I think we could all appreciate that. I do think they should not tap out of the mid range market quite yet and maybe they aren't going to. I bet next year's pixels come in more of a range. They probably figured no one is going to upgrade from the 6P right now anyways.
I did google financing and when I log into Synchrony I see the pending charge. And well, for some reason on the google store I have no order history..no order confirmation email of the order..nothing but the order # I wrote down. Google says its google financing fault and they say its google stores fault. Google store told me to redo order and it errors out saying I have exceeded the limit of products to order lol. No one can give me an answer of where my order is haha. Wow what a mess!!

900 was glitch I was told by google finance. They up'd mine when i called and said for some reason lot of people were having a 900 limit and they were granting them a temp amount of the whole phone price with tax.
Yeah. I better call google. Too bad I missed out on the 2-3 week shipping. Maybe I was in the glitch

OK. Called google, got switched to financing. They upped my limit to $1,000.. Now. Out of stock. What crap. This was easy when I could pay cash for a new nexus every year.

Same boat as you are... spent some time talking to different agents and FINALLY got the additional $25 needed for me to get the XL and now it's out of stock... Looks like we're both waiting

Did you ever get one ordered? For my black 128 ordered last night. Oct 21 delivery. Funny thing is I accidentally charged my debit card. Had to cancel that one and order again.
