I just got my Nexus 7 and I have problem with getting $25 for Google Play outside the USA. When I'm entering the credit card number it shows:
“The credit card you have entered does not qualify for this promotion.”
I tried 3x Visa and 1x MasterCard. Am I doing something wrong or maybe it's somehow fixed already?
I got mine yesterday, and once turned on and signed in I had my £15 (UK based)

That's great, but what could I do wrong? Btw. It shows me £15 too.
are you using a US address when registering the credit card?
Yes, United States with ZIP code 10002 and phone number (202) 9255599.
EDIT/
I did everything one time again and this time it worked, I got the mail and $25.
Got mine today totally forgot to do it in dollars took my £15 lol

Either go to a retail store and ask for one ( they may give you one for free ), or order one online. It's 99c
Dubya dubya dubya dot tee mobile dot com.
Or they could cut the current one

sorry guys..just saw this in the other tmo thread:
"Micro sim cards are free at T-Mobile store or 99¢ if you want it mailed to you. "
thank you!!
Yep. I purchased an iPhone 5 off contract (don't worry I hated it and returned it within 5 days) and went into a T-Mobile store and they gave me a micro SIM on the spot, free of charge.
T-Mobile website is currently 'out of stock' for the micro sim activation kit (i want the prepaid 100 voice, unlimited text, 'unlimited' data plan). According to the online chat person I talked to, the kit should be back in stock in 24 to 48 hours.
I just did a chat session on their website. Asked for a Micro-SIM to use with the Nexus 4 and the rep in the chat gave me a link to order, and verified the order number went through. I did this at 4PM. Literally at 9AM in the morning our mailroom guy handed me a package with the SIM inside.
All for $1 and change...lol

Call 611... and activate through them

Definitely just go to the store and get one. I called 3 stores in the atlanta area (near my house, near my work, on the drive there) and they all said they have a crap ton of them in stock and will give you one/activate it in store for free, or (if you prefer) will cut your normal sim with a hole punch type of thing for free as well.
I'm a prepaid Tmob subsriber and I went to my local store where I go to refill my account every month, the guy there said that a microsim would
cost 20 bucks!
Planning to order one online now. I would still be able to retain my number, right?
I just got one for free in my local T-Mo store. Google doesn't anticipate even shipping mine until today, so I asked them not to activate it. You can activate it from 611 or from their website once you get the phone - obviously that will kill your existing phone so hold off before doing this.

Waiting on my Nexus to arrive so I can go through the steps. I hope it won't be a pain...
If I am using Straight Talk ( or planning on using ) is the sim card different?

I'm a prepaid suscriber too, and was wondering the same thing. I talked over their online chat system to a rep and he said the online order won't be able to retain my number?!
Anyone else here on prepaid but managed to get it for free at a Tmob store?
Yes..you need their sim..
Straight talk doesnt let you stream media I think..
Microsim..go to tmob site..got mine for .99 cents..

Anyone else who bought a phone off the play store having trouble finding a micro-sim. I've been to four stores for t-mobile in MN, and one of the stores have/ or are especting micro-sims. I'm curious if this is a MN thing, t-mobile thing, or if there's actually a micro-sim shortage.
I got a sim cutter on amazon for like $9. Worked well for me. I'm in MN too but I haven't looked around for micro sims. I would let you use my sim cutter though!

I ordered a micro-sim off T-Mobile's website for 99 cents which included shipping and activation.
I just googled a template and cut my old Sim down with scissors.

Must be an MN thing.
I walked into my T-Mobile and told them I needed a microsim and they gave it to me no problem.
@OP. Not sure where in MN you are located, but I got mine at the Roseville Mall corporate store.

I guess they must have gotten recently or something. I just got mine here also, even though according to the guy at north town all the nearby stores were out. Now I can finally use my phone
I eyeballed mine and cut it with a butcher knife.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I had a sim cutter, go to some mom and pops indirects and see if one of them has a sim cutter if you aren't comfortable eyeballing it.
I'm in MN also and couldn't get one. Had to cut mine with some instructions and template I found on YouTube.

I ordered a sim cutter on eBay for a few dollars a couple of weeks before the N4 went on sale. But it didn't arrive until a few days after I got my phone, so I just went to a local phone shop and offered them 5 bucks to cut my sim and they just did it for free: )

I didn't want to pay for a SIM cutter so I tried cutting it myself with scissors and eyeballing it. Somehow it got messed up and when I put it in the phone I never got it to work.

I ordered my 8gb nexus 4 back on Nov 27th. And I got an email saying the payment was declined for some reason and I need to update my payment info. So I did, after adding transferring the in the few dollars my account was short. Now I'm waiting to be billed again and for the device to be shipped out. I called google support but got no information as to when it would ship, that I had to "Sit and wait".
Has anyone had this happen?
Any idea how long I will be waiting?
Happened to me on the Nexus 7, took an extra week or two.

Hey guys! Just saw this in the news! Its free $25 dollar credit at Google Play for buying the HTC One. Redeem it before July 15th!
http://us.htc.com/googleplay/
FYI It's for US owners only (and even then for a very short and specific purchase window.)
While supplies last. Void where prohibited by law. Offer valid only on new HTC One devices purchased and activated in the U.S. between 6/14/13 – 7/15/13. You must register your device at www.htc.com/us/googleplay/redeem by 7/15/2013. Limit one registration per email account. Codes will be delivered to registered email address within 2-4 weeks of registration. Information may be subject to validation. Google Play store credits must be redeemed by 11/30/2013 and may be subject to a later expiration date.
Unfortunately, the site says that its for purchases after June 14th. However, it still took my information and doesn't ask for it in the sign up page, so I tried it anyways. Will post what the email response from HTC will be. Hopefully, this will be useful for new purchasers. Thanks!
EDIT. Thanks for adding that info @snachez.

Great share!!! Just got my 32 gigger online for a cool $253. Free shipping, but those pesky taxes! *shakes fist angrily*
Guys, there's a 2013 Nexus 7 forum. Go use that and stop filling up this forum with stuff for a different device. Thanks.

Not true. It works perfectly.
It does not work. All managers have been told to not accept the coupon. I argued with the manager till she decided to accept it and when she put the code into the computer it declined the coupon. Corporate has stopped the coupon from working. I will be calling corporate tonight or tomorrow and try and get a $30 refund.

staples is out of stock online. just called and they said the stores will have them the 30th. kinda ticked off right now.

Interesting. I wonder if online orders with the coupon will get cancelled, I got a confirmation email but still have not recieved a shipping notification.
Not sure. I might try and order one online and see if it works. If so I'll be returning this one.
Sent from my Galaxy Note 2 using Tapatalk 2
That sucks. I think staples is not accepting it anymore, also I heard they are canceling the 30 bucks coupon for all online orders. My friend got his canceled, I did the coupon in person early in morning' and it worked,
i'm going to a store right now to make a purchase.
I was told they don't do holds on stock, so I need to speed down there.
Only 3 left supposedly.
That sucks. I knew it wouldn't last long. I was the 1st to do it and when I printed the coupon it didn't have any restrictions on it. It said $30 off all tablets.

staples rejected me, but i went over to BestBuy to pricematch. I was told they rejected a person who asked earlier in the day, but apparently in this new shift the supervisor allows this one time pricematch for me. $30 saved! While I was waiting someone else came in asking for the new nexus too, but he wasnt using the $30 coupon pricematch.
