I've had my Nexus 4 for a little more than a month now and I recently just tried google wallet yesterday. When I got my phone begining of december I set up google wallet and I had no problems during the setup. Yesterday I went to Wawa and I'm like ok I think its time to test out google wallet. It says I need to input my pin on google wallet after I tapped it at the register, I selected my card on google wallet and at the register it asked me if it was debt or credit, I chose debt (as my card is a debt card) and it promted me to put my pin in, after I did the cashier said it wouldn't accept it. I've heard of the att and tmobile new micro sims have ISIS built in that blocks google wallet, but I don't have a newer micro sim. I have a older T-mobile sim card from about a year and a half ago (standard size not micro) and I cut it to fit my nexus 4. Anyone else having this problem?

You should run it as Credit. If you run it as Debit, technically you'd need a pin to complete the transaction, right? Upon selecting your card when you set up Wallet, a virtual credit card is automatically created that is linked to your debit card -- there's no PIN involved here. When you select Wallet to pay, all the merchant sees is the virtual credit card that's been set up for you.
I've used Wallet a few times and the transactions are seamless. Just tap (technically place) down on the NFC enabled platform and then go.
ISIS is only currently in select markets, so I don't imagine them offering ISIS sims in markets where there IS no ISIS.

Waiting for Nexus 4. Activating the micro-SIM means T-Mo terminates existing mini-SIM. So, I want to be sure the N4 fully works before shutting off the existing SIM. What can I do to make sure everything works on the N4 before terminating exisiting phone? Also, what will I be able to do without SIM? Can I download apps/widgets from PlayStore via wifi without SIM? Thanks for your help.
I'm not sure how you can test everything, but I'd test the speaker, play some videos, download some apps on WiFi...just things I would do everyday. So long as you have WiFi you should be able to do everything on your phone except call and send SMS.
And if you're worried about terminating the mini-SIM, why not pick up a mini-to-micro adapter? That way you can activate the new SIM and if something doesn't work right use the adapter and use the new mini-SIM in your old phone. My T-Mobile store had them for about $5. I needed it right away, but if you don't there are tons for ~$1 or less on Amazon.
You can do everything but use it as a phone..

Just trim your SIM. That's what I did.
I actually have one of those cheap ass micro sim cutters and the thing broke on me, so I just used scissors to finish it
Google a pic of a micro sim, and cut your's to same shape.
Just cancel and if it don't work just get a sim adapter

Thanks to all
Thanks to everyone. Got it. Without a SIM, can do everything but phone related things. And, a micro adaptor will allow use of the microSIM in a miniSIM phone. Easier than I thought. Thanks again.
Purchased a 32GB 3G Nexus 7 from Google. First one had a cluster of dead pixels so I returned it along with the Micro-SIM it came with.
They sent me a replacement, but it did not come with a Micro-SIM. So, I had some back and forth emails with Google for about a week, trying to get them to send me a Micro-SIM. I ended up just going to an AT&T corporate store to get one.
That was yesterday. I've had this Micro-SIM in the N7 now for a day and I did pay $15 to activate one month / 250MB of data just to try it out.
It works, but I keep getting two different messages on the screen randomly at different times, that say:
SIM card removed
The mobile network will be unavailable until you restart with a valid SIM card inserted.

I press the restart button and once it's on again and on the pin screen (where I enter my 4-digit code), it says, "NO SIM CARD" beneath the number pad.
I'll proceed and enter my pin. Do some stuff, play games, check email, just use it regularly and all of a sudden I'll get that SIM card removed message again asking to restart the N7.
The other message I get as well (also randomly) is:
SIM card added
Restart your device to access the mobile network.

Hi, i'm having the same problem on my Nexus 7 (32GB, 3G modem, which I bougth 3 weeks ago). I believe the problem is in the micro sim slot, because if I keep it pressed with my finger the error doesn't show up and everything works as expected. Unfortunatly I couldn't find a solution, so I will ask for a repair to my retailer.
SIM is detected only for brief moments.
I keep getting the same message on my Nexus 7. Mobile data keeps going on and off. The longest mobile data connection i've had was for 30 hours straight... otherwise its just 5 minutes before the two dreaded messages come
"SIM added : Restart you device to access the mobile network" and "SIM card removed : The mobile network will be unavailable until you restart with a valid SIM card inserted"
Should I ask for a replacement ?

So I am coming from a Nexus 5 and I am on T-Mobile, what do I need to do to get a nano SIM card. My phone comes today
Sorry this should be in the Q and A section. Please move
You can either cut your SIM card into a nano sim card. Find a template online
Or use a sim cutter, or go to your local carrier store and ask for a new SIM (they may charge you).
My T-Mobile stores here have been good about not charging for them. But some may...

So the only difference is less plastic??? Seems this may be the easiest way.

If I do get a new SIM, how do I transfer all of my info from my old one? Will T-Mobile do that for me?

Realistically you should not have any data on your sim. Newer smartphones now utilize the cloud for storing contacts and the like. If you have not done so already I suggest you start using gmail and transfer your contacts from the sim card. Thay way once you receive your new phone, insert the sim, turn the device on and add your gmail account to your new phone, your contacts will automatically appear on the new device.
you can find step by step instructions here or google to get more: https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/4416038?hl=en
When I started my 6p, it asked if I wanted to transfer settings from older phone. Said yes and it transferred basic google account info from the Nexus 5 to 6p. Once that was done, I used wifi at that point to complete setup, where OS updated and apps were restored (assuming you had set that option on the google account to backup/restore app data). Later I installed the tmobile sim and did a 'change sim' on my phone on tmobile web site for my account. Some apps still needed to be configured though.

Easy Peasey to activate the new SIM with your current account info
I'm on Verizon and got a new sim sent to me in prep for the new 6p. It was easier for me to get the old sim working from my old phone. I had to cut it but when i put it in the new 6p it just worked and I didnt have to wait for any activations.
The new nano sim I ordered would not authenticate but the old sim cut up worked great.
Sorry for the basic questions . . .
Looks like I'll be moving from my old RAZR Maxx to the MXPE so I'll need a new SIM card for the X. I'm on Verizon.
What is the procedure, or where can I find a link to the procedure, for doing this?
Can I just walk into my local Verizon store and get the new SIM for free?
Do I just put the SIM in the MXPE fire it up and I'm in business or do I need to call Verizon or go online to activate the phone?
Should I already have an SD card in the phone before I turn it on and activate it or should I wait until I've done those things to put in the SD card?
I plan on keeping my RAZR Maxx as a backup. How do I go about switching back and forth between phones if I need to do that?
Thanks!
The way I did it was I just used a buddys phone(last gem moto x I believe) that had the correct sim card,went to Verizon store told them I needed that phone activated, they gave me a new sim card free of charge and they activated it,I walked out to my car took the sim card out put it in my new Motorola x pure and have been enjoying it sense.
Also when you put the sim card in give it a couple of minutes to pick it up,I got worried it didn't work at first ,I'm impatient and got worried that it wasn't working, when I was just about ready to flip it said verizon for my network then all was good.haha
I upgraded from an S4. I bought a sim cutter on amazon for cheap and it worked great. I cut my sim in no time at all, entered the nano size sim into the moto x and it connects to the verizon network automatically. I never had to step foot into a verizon store or do any type of activation on myverizon. The sim cutter also came with an adapter piece to make it compatible with the micro sim size so it will work on the razr maxx when you want to use it. I recommend holding off entering your sim card into the moto x on your first boot and enter your google information into the phone on wifi. If you have an unlimited data plan you should be able to use wifi tether with no limitations this way. Entering an SD card before or after activation makes zero difference, might as well have it in for your first boot. Good luck!
I just called Verizon and told them I needed a sim for a phone I was buying from someone. They sent it to me. Called to get the phone activated and it worked. I don't see why you could not get one from the local store now.
I had to pay $20 at my local Verizon dealer for a sim card. It wasn't an official Verizon store though, just a franchised store, so I'm not sure if that made a difference.
As for the OP though, it should just start working with not tinkering needed. Just make sure your sim is in before you first boot it up. I've read of problems when putting your sim card in after the first boot.

That may have been the difference. The X was in the process of being whitelisted when I received mine. I didn't tell them I was getting an X at that time but that I was buying a used phone from someone that required the micro sim. They sent it right out without a question.
Thanks for all the responses, good information.
I picked up a 32GB MXPE during last week's Amazon deal and it arrived today. :victory: I'm charging it now and probably will start the initial set up tomorrow after work.
I see from poking around that the Add Google Account screen asks for a device to restore from and the last initial set up screen has a Start Migrate button and says it will "Move photos, videos, music, call history, and more" from the device. Does this mean it only restores data and won't restore apps?
I would like to restore my data from the old phone but I prefer to manually install my apps on the MXPE and NOT restore any apps from my old phone.
Is this possible? How do I do that?
Thanks!

If I remember correctly, when you go through the migration process, it lets you choose whether you want your old apps installed or not.
Hello guys, so my problem is that i was using revolut through googlepay with no problems on my OP6 and i had activated my card in there approx 2 years ago. Problem is i am trying to activate the SAME card on my new OP8Pro and it fails miserably. Is there any way to copy and "verification" files from OP6 to OP8P? Any other suggestion to make this work is always welcome. (PS: both phones are not rooted)
Hi. I had the same problem 6 months ago. If your Revolut card is registered in a non authorized country you can not activate it anymore. Or I don't succeed.
I don't know a method to transfer the authorization from your old phone.
What I did is take a Curve card, put the Revolut as default card and made the Gpay authorization with the Curve.
It works since without any problems.
Did it to WearOs also

How does it fail? If safety net works (non rooted) then surely it'd be a case of contacting recolut?
Chances are your card will be expiring at some point anyway so this was going to happen sooner or later

I already contacted Revolut and they told me that I am not living in the supported countries of gpay. Yes I am not rooted. My card will expire in 4 years, so you guess I would like to use it till then ?

Registered in Bulgaria. But for me it worked only after I received the physical card. I was unable to activate/use the Curve account before.

I don't know, I hope it works after I order the physical card. My last option as I read somewhere else, would be to change my Revolut address to a gpay country, then create a new virtual card, register it in gpay, then change address back. Apparently it has to do with Revolut mostly and the number that the card will be generated. I don't want to have to reach the point that I have to do this, as I use Revolut as my main bank and in case it raises any alarms about that changes of addresses I could end up with a frozen account.
